Congrats to Fort Worth author and former Star-Telegram staffer Jeff Guinn – his non-fiction book Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde was a finalist in the 2010 “Best Fact Crime” category of The Edgars, the annual awards given by the Mystery Writers of America. The Parker and Barrow crime saga never held much fascination for me, thanks mostly to Arthur Penn’s overrated movie version. Guinn’s book reminded me that truth is stranger and – when it’s told right — more engrossing than the movies.
