El viejo y la pistola: Y otros relatos de True Crime / The Old Man and the Gun: And Other Tales of True Crime

David Grann

Vuelve el maestro del
True Crime, David Grann, tras el exito de Z, la
ciudad perdida. Entre estas increibles historias de crimenes reales, destaca El viejo y la pistola ,
ultima pelicula protagonizada por Robert Redford.

La increible historia
del ladron de bancos Forrest Tucker da titulo a esta coleccion de crimenes reales, tres
relatos en los que el periodista David
Grann demuestra por que es considerado el mejor escritor de no-ficcion 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 anos se niega a retirarse, True Crime sigue la
retorcida investigacion de un policia
polaco convencido de que un novelista dejo pistas en su obra sobre un asesinato real. El camaleon

relata como un impostor frances asume
la identidad de un chico desaparecido en Texas y se infiltra en su familia para terminar preguntandose quien
esta enganando a quien.Con estos tres
personajes, Grann muestra que la ficcion no es la unica via para encontrar historias delirantes
donde el engano, la astucia y una
innata habilidad para el crimen determinan el futuro de sus
protagonistas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
