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.
