Description

Grafters -- Mancs Abroad More Inside Stories from Europe's Most Prolific Sneak Thieves by Marcus Blaney and Stuart Campbell. The brothers Blaney, Mark and Colin, were two of the most prolific sneak thieves in European history. While their paths diverged after Colin wrote his earlier book "Grafters" (2004), both continued to seek a world beyond Manchester's council estates. For Mark, this led to a life of low-level crime, while Stuart Campbell adopted a more calculated approach, using confidence tricks and charm to get by. Their stories are one of excess and survival, of living high on the hog for decades before the bubble burst. This book tells the tale of how they managed to stay ahead of the game, and how their lives were forever changed by their experiences abroad. A gripping account of two men who lived life on their own terms, "Grafters -- Mancs Abroad" is a fascinating look at the world of European sneak thieves.
