For eleven years, Randolph Franklin Dial was one of the most sought after fugitives in America. Brilliant, cunning and enigmatic, Dial had murdered a man so expertly that the case was only solved when he inexplicably turned himself in.

Charles Sasser reveals the inside story of his escape, capture, and bizarre relationship with Bobbi Parker.

When Dial was finally captured--watching a pro golf tournament on television with a pistol by his side--investigators found a copy of this book on his nightstand? Somewhere in America at a book signing, Dial had gotten his book signed by the author himself...
