Resurrecting a forgotten American folk hero who captivated the nation, World, Chase Me Down is a debut novel of adrenaline-fueled, page-turning suspense based on the first great crime of the last century: the revenge kidnapping by Pat Crowe of the teenage son of Omaha's wealthiest meatpacking tycoon for a ransom of $25,000 in gold. In a manhunt dubbed 'the thrill of the nation,' Crowe burgles, safe-cracks, and bond-jumps his way across the globe and back to Omaha, where he turns himself in, reunites with the woman he loved, and rallies public sentiment behind him in a triumphant trial.
