Opis

The language of crime has a long and venerable history. In this text, Jonathon Green looks at 500 years of crooks and conmen - from the hedge-creepers and counterfeit cranks of the 16th century to the blaggers and burners of the 21st - as well as the swag, the hideouts, the getaway vehicles and the 'tools of the trade'.
