{"product_id":"9781596919099","title":"Wanted Man: The Forgotten Story of an American Outlaw","description":"One September night in 1891 the Wild West went east. A masked man boarded the American Express Special train as it sped through New York State and single-handedly stole a fortune. His name was Oliver Curtis Perry, and he instantly became the country's most wanted man. \u003cbr\u003eWhile detectives searched in vain, the public and press couldn't get enough of the handsome, charismatic young robber whose physical daring was matched by stories of a troubled childhood and romantic life. Women adored him, boys worshipped him: America was falling in love. Five months later he defied belief by robbing the same train again. This time, after one of the most extraordinary chases in history, he was caught and sentenced to forty-nine years hard labor. \u003cbr\u003eBut if the authorities believed they had beaten this celebrity criminal they were badly mistaken. Perry's prison life proved as remarkable as his robberies as he turned escape artist, protestor, hunger-striker, and finally poet in his determination to win his freedom. In \u003ci\u003eWanted Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Tamsin Spargo brings this extraordinary portrait of a forgotten man to life once more as she tells his story of adventure and tragedy.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151231598832,"sku":"9781596919099","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596919099_p0.jpg?v=1763813337","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596919099","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
