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.

      NEW YORKER staff writer David Grann has collected three true-crime articles in this audiobook, deftly narrated by Mark Deakins. The cover story, THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN, is now a movie starring Robert Redford as the charismatic, dashing gentleman bank robber and prison escape artist who is still plying his craft in his 70s. The other two stories of deeply flawed but fascinating criminals are also intriguing pieces that will move listeners to consider the lines between truth, belief, and imagination. Deakins is a great match for Grann's investigative writing style. He conveys these real-life stories with journalistic credibility. E.Q. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
