Old Man and the Gun: And Other Tales of True Crime

Old Man and the Gun: And Other Tales of True Crime | David Grann

5 posts | 7 read | 3 to read

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.

2020 stats: 2020 was good for my reading goals as I generally find fantasy worlds to be soothing escapes! Still, I'm proud of my progress towards reading more diverse books and more recent publications and I'm looking forward to more of the same in 2021. I also have plans to work with my tbr, and read the books I bought instead of abandoning them when something new and shiny crosses my path! Time to #jumpintojanuary #2020books

I cannot remember where I heard about David Grann but he was mentioned in one of the books I read recently. As a result I bought this one and one of his better known books. This one was short and interesting. Three different sections of different crime stories that happened. I found it fun and entertaining.

This is a collection of 3 fascinating true crime tales - The Old Man And The Gun, True Crime & The Chameleon.

I enjoyed Grann's writing. It is always engaging, entertaining, and well-researched. If you enjoy this book, I'd recommend The Devil & Sherlock Holmes - an anthology of twelve true crime stories which also includes the above three stories.

Rating: 5⭐
