About This Book
Some people become the most wanted not just because of what they've done, but because they keep slipping away from the law. Imagine being chased for weeks or months, with every move watched and every escape more daring than the last. These are the stories of those who turned the tables on the hunters—and why their tales still fascinate us today.
