He outsmarted every lawman in the country and became the most celebrated bank robber and master escape artist of all time. He was a man of cleverness and originality. During his career, he participated in three gangs and was involved in a string of bank robberies across the country. He successfully escaped several police and FBI traps, broke out of two jails, raided three police stations and helped to mastermind the biggest escape ever from the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City.

Indiana State Police Captain Matt Leach led the hunt for John Dillinger during the violent early 1930s. Pushing a media campaign aimed at smoking out the fugitive, Leach elevated Dillinger to unprecedented notoriety. In return, Dillinger taunted him with phone calls and postcards, and vowed to kill him. Leach's use of publicity backfired, making him a pariah among his fellow policemen, and the FBI ordered his firing in 1937 for challenging their authority. This is the first full-length biography of the man.
