Overview
La increíble historia del ladrón de bancos Forrest Tucker da título a esta colección de crímenes reales, tres relatos en los que el periodista David Grann demuestra por qué es considerado el mejor escritor de no-ficción del momento. Si «El viejo y la pistola» es la historia de un artista del atraco y la fuga carcelaria que a sus setenta y muchos años se niega a retirarse, «True Crime» sigue la retorcida investigación de un policía polaco convencido de que un novelista dejó pistas en su obra sobre un asesinato real. «El camaleón» relata cómo un impostor francés asume la identidad de un chico desaparecido en Texas y se infiltra en su familia para terminar preguntándose quién está engañando a quién.
Con estos tres personajes, Grann muestra que la ficción no es la única vía para encontrar historias delirantes donde el engaño, la astucia y una innata habilidad para el crimen determinan el futuro de sus protagonistas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNow 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.
