The
bizarre true story of the criminals behind the second-largest bank heist in
American history.
One
night in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo
manages to steal $17 million-literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being
caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David
Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink.
There's
just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of
accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first
place-and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out. Now one of the most
wanted men in America with the FBI hot on his heels, Ghantt must figure out how
to get his money, get away from a hit man, and get even.
In
this outrageously entertaining book, Jeff Diamant, the Charlotte Observer's
lead reporter on the case, offers the definitive inside account of this
astonishing true story that has captivated American audiences on the news and
now on the big screen in the major motion picture, Masterminds.
