Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look into the life of Eugene Francois Vidocq, a notorious former criminal turned police officer in early 19th century France. Having established a career as a confidence trickster, forger, and thief, Vidocq's life took a dramatic turn when he offered his services to the police, beginning a storied career as a detective. The author, having gathered extensive material from Vidocq himself, presents a gripping account of his subject's adventures in underworld Paris, the political turmoil of the period, and a complex, ever-changing relationship with the justice system. Vidocq's insights into criminal behavior and innovative approaches to policing had a profound impact on criminal investigation and law enforcement techniques of the time.
