CASE NO. 002: THE ROCK
June 12, 1962
SAN FRANCISCO BAY, CALIFORNIA
7:18 A.M.
A corrections officer at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary tries to awaken inmate AZ-1441, Frank Morris. But when he shakes the unresponsive man, his head rolls off the pillow and crashes to the floor! Soon the guards realize that Morris and two other inmates, brothers John and Clarence Anglin, had done the seemingly impossible: escaped from the notorious island prison.
This is the incredible true story of the daring and inventive escape and a decades-long manhunt in a case that remains unsolved to this day.
Comics panels, reproductions of documents from real FBI files, and photos from the investigation combine for a thrilling read for sleuths of all ages.
This entry in the Unsolved Case Files series is just as compelling as the first book, Unsolved Case Files: Escape at 10,000 Feet, which Kirkus praised as compulsively readable.

Описание: Noble and forthright corporate lawyers with square, manly jaws contend with monkeys, body-snatchers, revenants, gently-used sandwiches and sentient and often malicious office equipment. Studs Terkel meets M.R. James meets P.G. Wodehouse. Dead lawyers abound. The cover, based on a drawing by Leo Kogan, is the best part of the book, but if you like that you might also enjoy what's inside.
