Moore's protagonist, David Slaney, is a modern Billy the Kid, a swaggering folk-hero-in-the making who busts out of prison to embark on one last great heist and win back the woman he loves. As Slaney makes his fugitive journey across Canada--tailed closely by a detective hell-bent on making an arrest--Slaney reignites passions with his old flame; tracks down his former drug smuggling partner; and adopts numerous guises to outpace authorities: hitchhiker, houseguest, student, and lover. Thrumming with energy and suspense, \u003ci\u003eCaught\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrillingly charged escapade from one of Canada's most acclaimed writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Outstanding . . .
