March 1932. After the recently incarcerated Al Capone offers to negotiate the return of the kidnapped son of Charles Lindbergh, Nathan Heller of the Chicago P.D. is sent to Hopewell, New Jersey, as a police liaison. As a part of Lindbergh's inner circle, Heller investigates crooks, cranks, socialites, and psychics in a frustrating, fruitless attempt to solve the case.
Max Allan Collins makes the crime that captivated a nation the focal point of yet another fascinating and thoroughly spellbinding foray into his world of historical crime fiction. Four years later, in 1936, Heller - now a private detective, and considered an expert and insider on the Lindbergh case - is hired by the governor of New Jersey in an eleventh-hour quest to determine the guilt or innocence of Bruno Hauptmann, who sits on death row convicted of the murder and kidnapping of the Lindbergh child.

"The is about the Lindbergh kidnapping. I didn't remember much about it or how it resolved except for the conviction of Hauptmann. Seems that Lindbergh really messed up the whole show. Again, Collins has entertained and informed." — Sharon (5 out of 5 stars)

" Even though you totally know the outcome when you open the cover, you'll still find yourself wishing...hoping...it sent me to the library to read Anne Lindbergh's diaries. "
" A quick read with an awful lot of characters. The story (fiction)was OK but the history of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby was very interesting. I will be looking to read some non fiction pieces about the kidnapping and the author did provide some sources. "
