What is life on the run really like? Featuring never-before heard interviews, this ground-breaking audio original gets you closer to the reality than ever before.
Join Nick Reynolds as he explores the reality of the life of a fugitive. Using his own experiences of growing up on the run with the Great Train Robbers in Central America, Nick talks with some infamous fugitives and their families as they share their extraordinary experiences. From the mental toll of staying constantly vigilant and the need for money, to caring for loved ones and the long shadows cast by their pasts, this audiobook is essential listening for true crime fans.
Fleeing from the law, putting yourself beyond society, leaving friends and family behind, never feeling truly safe - it takes a certain sort of person to see life as a fugitive as preferable to facing justice.
The life of a fugitive is often glamorised in films and media: it's anything but. It's tough and it leaves deep scars on everyone involved - but is it harder than prison time? Listen and make up your own mind. Nick Reynolds (Author, Narrator)
The son of the late Bruce Reynolds, mastermind behind the Great Train Robbery, Nick spent his early childhood on the run with his dad in Mexico. He is a leading spokesman on the Great Train Robbery and has recently narrated his father's autobiography in audiobook.
Sent to boarding school when his father was eventually arrested, Nick became interested in art and music, and went on to become part of Alabama 3, the band behind the famous Soprano's theme. Nick is also a renowned sculptor creating a name for himself as the UK's foremost Death Mask artist.
