Edgar Award Finalist: This “sensational” and “absolutely compelling” true crime tale finally answers the question: Who really killed the Lindbergh baby? (San Francisco Chronicle).
On the night of March 1, 1932, celebrated aviator Charles Lindbergh’s infant son was kidnapped from his New Jersey home. The family paid $50,000 to get “Little Lindy” back, but his remains were discovered in a grove of trees four miles from the Lindbergh house. More than two years after the abduction, Bruno Hauptmann, an unemployed carpenter and illegal German immigrant, was caught with $20,000 of the ransom money. He was arrested, tried, and executed for the crime. But did he really do it?
New York Times–bestselling author Noel Behn spent eight years investigating the case, revisiting old evidence, discovering new information, and shining a bright light on the controversial actions of public figures such as New Jersey Governor Harold Hoffman, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, New Jersey State Police Superintendent H. Norman Schwarzkopf, and Charles Lindbergh himself. The result is a fascinating and convincing new theory of the crime that exonerates Hauptmann and names a killer far closer to the Lindbergh family.
A finalist for the Edgar Award, Lindbergh “not only provides answers to the riddles of the ‘Crime of the Century, ’ but hurls us into time past, to a special moment in American history” (Peter Maas, New York Times–bestselling author of Underboss).

flyverpioneeren Charles Augustus Lindbergh, nationens forgudede helt, manipulerende folkeforfører ... og barnemorder?Lyder aldeles vanvittigt,ja; men hvordan skulle mindst eet voksent, fremmed menneske dog kunne klatre ind - og ud med et mindst 11 kilo, to årigt, søvnigt barn i favnen - ad vinduet i et 1. sals børneværelse uden at vælte en parade af legedyr mv klos op ad vinduet? Og helt uden at familiens hund reagerer? Og uden at Charles Lindbergh har lyst til selv at åbne og læse dén blanke konvolut, som er placeret i vindueskarmen?Dette uhyggeligt vel-orkestrerede familie-cover-up kostede en ganske uskyldig familiefar, den tysk-amerikanske, driftige tømrer Bruno Richard Hauptmann, liv og ære tre år senere.Nu, næsten 100 år senere, bør sagen genoptages og endevendes om-igen ... i lyset af falske vidneudsagn, polititortur og fabrikerede beviser!Her hersker overhovedet ingen tvivl om,, at det amerikanske folk begik et justitsmord - historiebøgerne skal skrives om!
