About the work

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

LibriVox recording of Why Crime Does Not Pay by Sophie Lyons. Read in English by Ann Boulais. The publishers believe that a picture of a life sketched by a master hand-somebody who stands in the world of crime as Edison does in his field or Morgan and Rockefeller do in theirs-could not fail to be impressive and valuable and prove the oft repeated statement that crime does not pay. Such a person is Sophie Lyons, the most remarkable and the greatest criminal of modern times. This extraordinary woman is herself a striking evidence that crime does not pay and that the same energy and brains exerted in honest endeavor win enduring wealth and respectability. (From the Introduction)
