In this epoch making book in which truth makes the wildest
imaginings of the wizards of fiction dull and commonplace, Sophie
Lyons, known to the police of two continents as the shrewdest,
cleverest, brainiest, and most daring and resourceful criminal of
the age, tears aside the veil and reveals the most desperate
characters of the underworld, the millionaire aristocrats of crime,
as they plot, plan and later execute their dark and incredible
deeds. With breathless interest we watch these masked midnight
marauders as the mighty steel vaults of the greatest financial
institutions swing wide at their bidding, yielding their boundless
treasures to the crafty cracksman and scientific burglar, the magic
manipulators of gun, dynamite and jimmy.
Through the Whole Gamut of Crime,
Stupendous and Blood Curdling.
We are personally conducted by the Queen of Criminals. Read how
Gainsborough’s matchless Duchess of Devonshire was stolen, and how

enormous ill gotten gains.
