About the book

At nineteen, May stole her family's savings and ran away from her home in Ireland to America. She worked in a variety of unsavoury jobs and was soon hailed in tabloids as a 'Queen of the Underworld'. In 1901, May had fallen in love with criminal Eddie Guerin and followed him to Paris where together, they robbed the American Express. But they were both caught and sent to prison. She survived, returning to America to reinvent herself again and again until her death in 1929.
