The Sewers of Gold by Albert Spaggiari

Nice, July 1976:
the biggest bank robbery ever.

The mastermind behind the caper: Albert Spaggiari, adventurer and dreamer, who pulled it off and got away.

One wall of the bank wasn't wired with alarms. No need, they said, it's too thick, armoured, impenetrable. But Spaggiari knew it faced the sewers. There was no reason why the job shouldn't succeed...

More fantastic than fiction, this inside story of the most amazing crime of our time ranks beside the sensational PAPILLON.

Albert Spaggiari's description of himself: 'Soldier of fortune, political activist, thief, jailbird . . . I have my humble side and my megalomaniac side. Basically, however, I stay in the middle of the road.

'I like women. All kinds of women - especially brunettes blondes and redheads. I'm also fond of animals. All kinds of animals, but mostly the ones that are hunted because we share the same fate.'
