“Wilson was simply unique: he treated crime as a science and studied it accordingly… No one, either before or since Wilson, has ever reached such a degree of criminal perfection.”

Based on his biography, I Stole $16,000,000, Wilson’s story ranges from Canada to South Africa; from North to South America; to Europe—past the First World War and into the Roaring Twenties. 

The story charts this complex, conflicted character’s descent from a debonair, upstanding god-fearing minister to a broken, retired criminal, seeking penance for a life largely spent on the wrong side of the law.
