Description
Francois Eugene Vidocq's memoirs offer a unique glimpse into the life of a master of disguise and deception. As a thief, secret agent, and first French chief of secret police, Vidocq's exploits are a testament to the blurred lines between law enforcement and the criminals they pursue. From the circus stage to pirate ships, prison cells, and the beautiful women's boudoirs of 1830s France, Vidocq's life story is a whirlwind tour of adventure and danger. With a knack for finding trouble, Vidocq's life is marked by narrow escapes, duels to the death, and a penchant for the tumultuous life of danger over the contentment of security. This first edition memoir provides a fascinating insight into the life of a true original, a man who broke the rules and lived by his own code.
