Absolutely gripping

Perhaps the coolest, grittiest, strangely funniest real-life account of any bounty hunter living. Although I haven't seen the movie with Steve McQueen, I can only imagine it would have made fitting material for one of the last true tough guys' final movie. Pick this book up if you enjoy real-life adventure.
