About this listen

 When lowly civil servant Ben Anscomb’s luck deserts him, he opts for a walk on the lawless side of life. Jobless and wifeless, he draws up his very own Theft Chart and sets about earning his living through a series of systematically planned felonies. Confident in his ability to avoid the cock-ups of the commonplace crook, he proves to be a singular thief. "A short but punchy read about one man's mission to set himself up financially for life - by turning to crime. Down on his luck - with no job, a failed marriage and the threat of repossession looming - Ben feels he has no alternative. But has he the skills - and the conscience - to succeed? Starting off with petty thefts, Ben quickly becomes addicted, craving bigger hits before deciding on one last life-changing job. A.R.Lowe cleverly draws reader into the planning and execution of the crime - evaluating the pros and cons, how you'd do it differently and whether the risks justified the prize. Above all, Ben longs for his boys to be proud of him. But will he be granted his wish or just prison visiting rights?" - Amazon review. From the author of 'Barry Braithwaite’s Last Life' and 'Spanish Journals - The Posthumous Diary of an Expat', an amusing and instructive tale of criminal capers in which the question, ‘Does crime pay?’ is finally and all but conclusively answered.
