About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Crime: The Autobiography of a Crook by Eddie Guerin. Read in English by Jim Locke. This is not what one could call in any shape or form a pretty story. It is the plain unvarnished tale of a man who has been a notorious criminal from his boyhood days, and it is printed only because it will prove, in a way that all the prison statistics in the world cannot prove, that you can’t win at the crooked game. - by the editor
