Especially with such a shadowy topic as Russian organized crime – where there’s incentive for sensational writing – it’s commendable that Bullen, for the most part, keeps his book neutral and readable. It’s a neat little introductory guide with an interesting visual component. So if you’re curious about Russian-speaking organized crime, I recommend giving Thief in Law a try." - russiareviewed.wordpress.com "Thief in Law is worth a read not only as an encyclopaedia of Russian prison tattoos but also as a guide to Russian prison history and culture." - Russia Beyond The Headlines
