Fugitive!: On the Run with Britain’s Most Wanted

by Nick Reynolds (Author, Narrator), Chris Pickard (Narrator), Duncan Campbell (Narrator)

Ground-breaking audio original exploring the reality of life on the run.

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.

A really interesting insight to what it was like for not just the person who committed the crime but the family members who went with them. Nick is the son of Bruce Reynolds, of the great train robbery. Here he discusses his own experiences, as well as talking with others that went on the run as a child, or adults currently on the run. There's a psychology input, as well as a retired police officer. We learn what it takes to have everything in place to go on the run from paperwork, to safe houses, money and in some cases plastic surgery.
