The book, containing three stories: “The Old Man & the Gun,” “True Crime,” and “The Chameleon,” is extremely easy to read and such a delight. The final story is by far the most fascinating to me but all three are supremely well written and researched.

3 short stories of true crime from the writer of [b:Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI|29496076|Killers of the Flower Moon The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI|David Grann|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1470699853l/29496076._SY75_.jpg|49782213]
2nd story is the best about a Polish writer who appears to have written a novel about a murder he committed.
a light quick read, nothing special but good reading for an airplane or rainy afternoon if you enjoy true-crime.

More Good Grann
Three excellent true crime stories that eschew grisly details and tired whodunits to paint three fascinating portraits. I also didn’t realize that the third story, The Chameleon,” was the same subject as the terrific 2012 documentary The Imposter, but Grann has more room to share some details the film doesn’t have room for.
