Description

Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal Israel Rank has many advantages and qualities that should enable an ordinary man to get through life successfully. However, he is not content to be an ordinary man. As a distant heir to the Gascoyne earldom, he is determined to inherit it, no matter the cost. But there's a problem: he must kill everyone in line before him, without getting caught. This darkly comic crime novel is a satire that reverses conventional morality. It's a story about a serial killer, but one that is both sympathetic and thought-provoking. The author's spare and elegant prose keeps the narrative pace moving, making for a thrilling and unsettling read. First published in 1907, the novel has remained a fresh and disturbing study of human nature. It's a worthwhile read for anyone interested in crime fiction and the complexities of the human psyche.
