The Manhunter: The Astounding True Story of the U.S. Marshal Who Tracked Down the World's Most Evil Criminals

by John Pascucci, Cameron Stauth

John Pascucci, former Chief of International Operations for the U.S. Marshals Service, had a caseload that reads like a Who's Who of the criminal world: superspy Christopher Boyce, Auschwitz's Dr. Josef Mengele, CIA traitor Frank Terpil--the "world's most dangerous man"--and dozens more. He hunted Nazis, neo-Nazis, murderers, bombers, drug smugglers, terrorists, and spies. He always got his man. He used what some policemen call "aggressiveness" and "imagination"--in other words, he broke every law in the book.

A real-life character out of Joseph Wambaugh, tougher than anybody Elmore Leonard ever dreamed up, John Pascucci has a fascinating story to tell, and he tells all in The Manhunter.

This book is an old friend. It details John Pascucci's career as a US Marshall as he took down some of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century and closed a case dating back to World War II. It's a thrill a minute joy ride through the glorious 80's.

This book is the autobiography of John Pascucci the former chief of international operations of the US Marshall's. In this book he describes his search for some of the most wanted criminals in the US. Christopher Boyce and Dick Terpil and several Nazi's who had managed to immigrate to America. He also led the team which was sent to South America to verify the death of Joseph Mengle. An ok crime book but quite frankly some of the information and stories told seem unbelievable.

Seeing crime from the criminals view is fascinating.
