A Pickpocket's Tale-the underworld of 19th century New York
A Pickpocket's Talethe underworld of 19th century New York
Author: Timothy J. Gilfoyle
A Pickpocket's Tale is a fascinating true-crime story. Gilfoyle uses George Appo's unpublished memoirs to re- create the world of the 19th century criminal in aston- ishing detail. The result is an absorbing book that I could not put down;it's the best study ever of the history of crime in New York.
