From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower
Moon, a mesmerizing collection of true-crime stories that includes
"The Old Man and the Gun"—the inspiration for the movie starring
Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek, along with two other riveting 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. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!
