Welcome to Litsy!

This was good. Starting off with the killing of Claxton and the chase got me into the book right away. Some of the investigation wasn‘t quite as interesting, but it picked up every time one of the three killers was found. And, I found the biographical info about each of the three interesting, as well. The three men were all identified fairly quickly, but all three also had plenty of experience surviving on the desert. Cont in comments...

In 1998, 3 men stole a tanker truck in the Four Corners area of the West. When they were pulled over by a town cop, one of the men got out of the truck and murdered the cop with an AK-47 before the cop could even leave his car. This kicked off the largest manhunt in American history. One man was found dead, but the other two eluded police. Years later, remains were found. Think Tim McVeigh Times three. 2 stars out of 5.

I am not sure what to think about this book. Picked it up cheap on Audible. A factual account of the three young men with antigovernment sentiments, the killing of a police officer and the subsequent mishandled man hunt through classic American desert badlands. So why uncertain? The story feels derailed by a theory raised about the fate of two of the offenders, which I found difficult to accept.
