I've read 'Vuile Jatten, Schone handen'(Dirty thefts, clean hands), a dutch book where a criminal (thief, conman, insurance fraud arsonist,...) tells parts of his life story. The author/criminal is a smart and complicated men, with plenty of talents. The book proves a lot of creativity and human insight in him.
Of course, the author is the worst person to trust as reliable narrator and I hope to never meet him. Even so, he made me see the criminal life in a new light.
BTW if anyone knows more of these , I'd love to read them.

- pavel_lishin 2y agoIf you want something written from a criminal viewpoint, but not from a criminal, I highly recommend A Burglar's Guide to the City: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22237142-a-burglar-s-guide-to-the-city https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22237142-a-burglar-s-gui... It's more about architecture and security than it is about crime, but still very good.
