Product Description

Five years after escaping into the mountains of North Carolina, Eric Rudolph was becoming a figure of folk legend. The FBI had long since abandoned its manhunt—the largest ever on U.S. soil—for the fugitive accused of bombing the Atlanta Olympics, two abortion clinics, and a gay bar. Then, one night, Rudolph got careless; he was arrested and put in jail—possibly forever. But even in custody, he remained unrepentant . . . and an enigma.

Wonderful read
The book arrived in a very short time and in good condition.

I could not put the book down once I started to read. I have recommended it to several friends.

A positive review to offset dear Patricia...
I can't stand it when individuals use the incredibly valuable resource that is Amazon book reviews to make some parochial comment, especially one who thinks what they have to say is so important that they type it all in caps.When that happens I am compelled to offset it with a 5-star review (I read the book and it is a quality work).

BTW, I grew up in NC and the author's description of Asheville is fine in the context it is given.So sorry that it offended an Ashevillian who can't see the forest for the trees...

AUTHOR IS INCORRECT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF ASHEVILLE
THE AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION OF ASHEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA IS NOWHERE NEAR HISTORICALLY CORRECT AND IS MISSING SEVERAL KEY POINTS. THE AUTHOR WRITES, IN HER BOOK, THAT ASHEVILLE IS A TRENDY MOUNTAIN BOOM TOWN WHICH IS CORRECT. HOWEVER, SHE FURTHER WRITES THAT ONLY A GENERATION AGO ASHEVILLE NC WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUCOLIC BACKWATER TOWN, BEST KNOWN AS THE SITE OF THE BILTMORE ESTATE AND FORMER PLAYGROUND OF THE VANDERBILT FAMILY AND HOME OF THOMAS WOLF. THE FACT IS THAT ASHEVILLE HAS ALWAYS (AT LEAST SINCE 1895) BEEN A SOPHISTICATED LITTLE CITY AND WAS LABELED "PARIS OF THE SOUTH" IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY BECAUSE IT WAS SOWELL KNOWN FOR ITS THEATRE, OPERA, AND ELECTRIC STREET CARS. ASHEVILLE WAS THE SECOND CITY IN THE UNITED STATES TO HAVE ITS OWNELECTRIC STREET CARS, RICHMOND, VA. THE FIRST.
THE AUTHOR DID NOT DO HER RESEARCH ON ASHEVILLE SO HOW CAN I KNOW THAT THE REST OF HER BOOK IS AUTHENTIC?

On the edge of my seat
I was highly impressed how the author Maryanne Vollers represented the Murphy, NC area in her book Lone Wolf. I had follwed the search and capture of Eric Rudolph closely and she was right on the money with her story of this area. I was on the edge of my seat as I read through this captivating book. I couldn't put the book down once I began reading it! I had read the book from cover to cover in less than three days. I was most interested in the time Eric Rudolph spent in the mountains of Murphy and the surrounding areas. As I read the words in this book, it was almost like I was there!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys entertaining reading material. Again, thank you to the author Maryanne Vollers for such wonderful writing!

Lone Wolf by Maryanne Vollers
This is an interesting and straight forward book about the Atlanta Olympic and Birmingham Abortion bombings.The author does a great job bringing all the people involved together and their stories in this sad epic of Eric Rudolph's inhumane action to his fellow man and society. ... Read more
