Mumbai has produced many dons - but perhaps none so colourful as Abu Salem. The flamboyant ex-aide of Dawood Ibrahim is best known for his involvement in the Mumbai blasts of 1993 and for the murder of music composer Gulshan Kumar.

Summer, 1918: Twenty-nine officers crawled into a 16-inch-high, 55-metre tunnel dug only with spoons. This was the culmination of nine months gruelling toil in oxygen-starved darkness.

Tidligt om morgenen den 10. august 2008 kørte en gummiged ind i Dansk Værdihåndterings central i Brøndby. Gerningsmændene slap afsted med omkring 70 millioner kr. Røveriet var ekstremt professionelt planlagt. Røverne var bevæbnet med automatvåben og bar skudsikre veste, de havde spredt partisansøm på vejene omkring gerningsstedet og placeret 11 brændende lastbiler, som blokerede for politiet.

Il resoconto autobiografico (da parte di uno che di mestiere faceva il ladro e non lo scrittore) di una sensazionale rapina all'American Express nei primi anni del Novecento, nonché della vita all'Île du Diable, dove Guerin fu deportato dai francesi quando lo pizzicarono e lo condannarono all'ergastolo, e della successiva, ancor più clamorosa fuga dal carcere.

Namnet Maskeradligan myntades i huvudsak i massmedia i samband med att en serie väpnade rån ägde rum i Stockholm och dess kranskommuner under åren 1985-1986. Även polisen kom att ta åt sig namnet som arbetsnamn under spaningen och utredningen. Indirekt var det ligamedlemmarna själva som skapade namnet genom att skickligt klä sig så att de naturligt kom att smälta in i miljön där rånen genomfördes.

Detta är endast Rambergs första brott, men knappast det mest uppseendeväckande. Denna gentlemannatjuv såg stölderna han begick som en lek, eller ett stort äventyr. Han kontaktade även media anonymt, för att de skulle öka bevakningen av den mystiske rånaren som polisen jagade utan framgång. Här berättas det om Rambergs stöldturné, och misstagen som tillslut fick polisen att få upp ögonen för honom. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall.
