Publisher's Synopsis
A Prince of Swindlers (First published 1900) By Guy Boothby Victorian-era gentleman burglar Simon Carne is part of London society, the perfect cover to commit crimes against the rich. If Sherlock Holmes were a criminal, he would be a lot like Simon -- ingenious, a master of disguise, a collector of antiquities and pompous. This book is told as a reminiscence by a Lord who receives a confession. This is a fun and funny read.
