Synopsis

In 1934, after his spectacular jailbreak from a cell in Indiana, Dillinger was like a ghost—some claimed to spot him in New York, others in London, New Orleans, or California. Though the FBI would eventually find and kill Dillinger in Chicago, speculation about his whereabouts in those mysterious final months never waned.In Jack Higgins’s suspenseful imagining, Dillinger flees to Mexico, where his attempts at finding freedom launch the fugitive into the clutches of men much more dangerous than the federal agents on his trail. This dramatic account of Dillinger’s final days brings him face-to-face with bloodthirsty bandits and corrupt police officers, breathing vivid life into the story of America’s most fascinating outlaw.

Goodreads review by Josh on October 17, 2023

Really 2.5 stars but rounding up to 3. This is a purely fictional account which fluctuates from reading like a penny dreadful of old and a western. Those styles/narratives are fine but what's hard to enjoy is the emphasis on Dillinger's automobile and him driving it through the Mexican desert among......more
