Weir Mitchell tells the story of a charismatic scamp who finds himself bedridden with Addison's disease, surrounded by fellow patients in a Massachusetts hospital. Bored and restless, he takes the doctor's suggestion to write his life story, chronicling his clever schemes to acquire wealth and the setbacks that befell him along the way. With wit and candor, he reveals the hard truth that even a skilled scoundrel may not succeed in the end. Mitchell's classic tale offers a witty and entertaining look at a life lived on the wrong side of the law.
