Stolen From The Garden: The Kidnapping Of Virginia Piper

Virginia Piper was plucked from her Orono, Minnesota, home in July 1972. After her husband, a prominent investment banker, paid $1 million in ransom, the FBI was directed to find her unharmed and chained to a tree in a state park. Extensive efforts to solve this crime, the largest kidnap-for-ransom case in bureau annals, resulted in indictments but, shockingly, no convictions after two long jury trials. Bill Swanson draws on closely held government documents and exclusive interviews with family members, investigators, and suspects to tell the full story--including making a case for what most likely happened on that July afternoon--
