The following book is indeed a collection of true crime stories, compiled and written by Arthur Cheney Train. He was an American lawyer and writer of legal thrillers. Eleven cases in total are featured in this book, ranging from that of a 500 million dollars theft to that of a crime syndicate. As the author himself puts it, "The scenes recorded here are not literature but history, and the characters who figure in them are not puppets of the imagination, but men and women who lived and schemed, laughed, sinned and suffered, and paid the price when the time came, most of them, without flinching."
