Book Reviews of Deadly Pursuit (Stackpole Crime Library)
Book Review: Deadly Pursuit
Summary: 4 Stars
As the other reviewers have stated, this is a riveting story to those of us who were living at the time of the manhunt. Mr. Cox provides a factual account of events leading up to the kidnapping and how William Hollenbaugh evaded law enforcement for nearly two years and deceived an entire community. Perhaps even more interesting though, it provides a look back in time at where law enforcement techniques and equipment were then and the evolution of law enforcement practices and technology that evolved into what we have today. The scenes that I remember of the hundreds of law enforcement and armed volunteers will be with me for the rest of my life. The events not only galvanized a community, they galvanized and united an entire state to catch a sociopath who grabbed a young girl.
As one of the reviewers indicated though, there are details of the final hours that differ from what I remember reading in the newspapers of the day. It was without a doubt a wakeup call to all of us in 'sleepy' rural Pennsylvania that we could no longer sleep with our doors unlocked and windows open.
