Charles Peace

By George Purkess.

The Adventures of a Notorious Burglar. “An extraordinary book about the life of a proffessional burglar/murderer. The subject Peace was gifted in many ways, talented violinist, good with his hands in picture framing, carpentry, etc, but instead chose this life of crime. The book describes a grim picture of prison life at that time.”
