Over on the
Public Domain Review, Daisy Sainsbury delves into the legend of
Eugène-François Vidocq (1775–1857), the head of the Sûreté whose tumultuous life included a criminal past and work in law enforcement, forensics, private investigation, and prison reform. He also achieved literary fame as the author of
wildly popular memoirs.
