Jack Olsen is great in bringing to life real crime stories and this is no exception. This is the story of Claude Dallas who murdered two Idaho Fish and Game Officers and led Law Enforcement on an extended manhunt. He lead the life of a mountain man and used his skills to avoid being captured. It is an interesting story and a must read.

Very well written review of this case that still galvanizes opinions. I'm old enough to remember the case when it happened, but Mr. Olsen brings it to life, lots of details I didn't know. Highly recommended!
