Publisher's Synopsis
Roy Saunders was the world's greatest legitimate safe cracker. Who said so? Well, Roy Saunders for one, but this claim was echoed by senior police officers, chief insurance surveyors, leading jewellers and hundreds of wealthy clients. As his exceptional skills became widely recognised, he travelled the world opening some of the toughest safes and strongrooms ever made. It all came to a sudden end with one typically brave and selfless act as he went to the aid of a police officer whose life was endangered. This is the story of how a once fiercely honest man, embittered by a losing battle to obtain reasonable compensation for near fatal injuries, was driven to cross the line into criminality.
