Auguste Le Breton was very well known crime writer who was once himself a criminal. So he knew a lot about french underworld and all scums who inhabited it. With this knowledge he turned to writing and made couple of good crime novels, mostly set in France. This particular novels is alike one of the ones he wrote about France, only set in New York, where he gathered information and insides of USA underworld. Exciting novel about big heist, cops and New York mafia.
