About this book

Selection of the journalist's articles previously published in various periodicals. Grann revels in telling stories that explore the nature of obsession. In these three cases, originally published in The devil and Sherlock Holmes, he profiles a bank robber and prison escape artist who, even in his seventies, refuses to retire ; a Polish detective looking for clues to an actual murder in a novelist's fiction; and a French imposter who assumes the identity of a missing boy from Texas. -- adapted from back cover.
