A $50,000 ransom. No police involvement, or else.
These were the demands. And this was the crime . . .
A man sneaks into the Lindbergh family home and snatches up
twenty-month-old baby Charles, Jr. and disappears. So begins the kidnapping that
shakes the nation. . . . Two months of torment shared with reporters and police,
socialites and psychics, crooks and cranks. . . .
Enter detective Nathan Heller, handpicked by Colonel Lindbergh
himself to work on the case. His search for truth takes him from a train station in
Chicago to death row in the New Jersey state prison and finally, to a secluded farmhouse
in Michigan. It's a twisted trail of deception, betrayal, and danger that ends in
the most explosive act of violence Heller has ever seen. . . .
1992 Shamus Award Winner, Best P.I. Hardcover
Publishers Weekly: "Don't miss it!" "Collins's reconstruction of the Lindbergh case is so believable, one forgets that this is fiction."
Kirkus Reviews: "a meaty, satisfying rehash of the crime of the century--required reading for people who still wonder."
Somebody Dies: "a gripping read with a surprisingly emotional conclusion...Stolen Away is by far my favorite Heller mystery, and Collins is always my go-to guy whenever I want to indulge my taste for a great historical whodunit."
