#66 Ballad of the Whiskey Robber
Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives, and Broken Hearts by Julian Rubinstein - the title pretty much sums it up... Actually, I really enjoyed this one, learning about Hungary and Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism and how it affected ordinary people through the rise and downfall of a hockey goalie who robs banks and post offices. I would recommend this one, despite the slightly cheesey cover art.
