520    "Now a major motion picture starring Robert Redford and 
       Sissy Spacek, The Old Man and the Gun is here joined by 
       two other riveting true-crime tales. "The Old Man and the 
       Gun" is the incredible story of a bank robber and prison 
       escape artist who modeled himself after figures like 
       Pretty Boy Floyd and who, even in his seventies, refuses 
       to retire. "True Crime" follows the twisting investigation
       of a Polish detective who suspects that a novelist planted
       clues in his fiction to an actual murder. And "The 
       Chameleon" recounts how a French imposter assumes the 
       identity of a missing boy from Texas and infiltrates the 
       boy's family, only to soon wonder whether he is the one 
       being conned. In this mesmerizing collection, David Grann 
       shows why he has been called a "worthy heir to Truman 
       Capote" and "simply the best narrative nonfiction writer 
       working today," as he takes the reader on a journey 
       through some of the most intriguing and gripping real-life
       tales from around the world"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    ""The Old Man and the Gun," is the story of a man who 
       idolized the likes of Pretty Boy Floyd and, as a result, 
       fashions himself into a notorious bank robber and escape 
       artist. "The Chameleon" is the tale a French con artist 
       gets in over his head when he impersonates a missing Texas
       teenager and raises the suspicions of a local private 
       investigator. "True Crime" follows a riveting 
       investigation in which a Polish cold-case detective makes 
       an unlikely connection between a philosopher's novel and 
       the murder case he's trying to crack. Grann takes the 
       reader on a journey through some of the strangest and most
       thrilling real life stories of felonious behavior from 
       around the world"--|cProvided by publisher.
