Story of famous British criminal who lead a respectable family life by day but was a thief and murderer at night. The police eventually catch up with him and he is put on trial, which provides the wraparound framework for his exploits. Unfortunately Michael Martin Harvey overplays his role as the nasty Peace. It becomes almost comical when he follows one of his victims around, even popping up unexpectedly when she moves to a new city. The plot also incorporates non-linear shifts in time, which when combined with the unnecessary court room wraparound scenes becomes too confusing, leading to an unsatisfying experience.
