Description - Gone: 25 of the World's Most Chilling and Bizarre Kidnappings by Wendy Lewis
Gone chronicles famous, notorious and fascinating kidnappings from all around the globe. From Australia to Brazil, from Japan to South Africa, Gone will engross anyone fascinated by human nature and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit. Who can forget the video stills of a badly beaten Douglas Wood pleading for his life in Iraq? Or good-girl-turned-bad Patty Hearst posing with an AK-47? What led to uncovering the sordid secret lives of Phillip Garrido and Josef Fritzl? Or the unflattering mug shots of NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak, driven to distraction by her romantic rival? And did the FBI really foil a plot to kidnap Russell Crowe? This gripping book features a range of cases from child abductions and kidnappings of the rich and famous to bizarre strange but true crimes, hostage situations and political intrigue.
