One day Mickey Knox and Mallory Wilson came to a little town

Mallory went to the woman’s restroom and light a cigarette. One woman
in
the restroom told her to stop smoking. Mallory didn’t and so the
both
fight against each other. Tina’s head crashed against one of
the
porcelain sinks and she died. The other women cried and Mallory
called
and Mickey came to the restroom. After he has seen what happened
he
pulled out his gun and shot the women dead. In the cafeteria they
both
killed the other guests and only one survived. This event was
later
called the “Kankakee Massacre”.
After this Mallory and Mickey had to flew. The where hunted by
police
and specially by Detective Jack Scagnetti. On their escape from
police
Mallory and Mickey killed at every hotel or petrol station people
and
the let one witness alive. After some weeks the become popular in
the
USA and some fans of them founded fan clubs. Mallory and Mickey
married
on their escape and so the police found out where they stay. Jack
Scagnetti and some other policemen arrest them and they came into
a
prison. Wayne Gale wanted to make a interview with Mickey. When
Wayne
interviewed Mickey, Mickey could open his handcuff took a gun from
a
police officer, killed Jack Scagnetti and took Wayne Gale and his
cameraman as a hostage. The camera-man had to film the rescue of
Mallory. The people could see it live on TV. After Mickey and
Mallory
killed some police officer and escaped with Wayne and the camera-man
in
a transporter. After some days Mickey killed Wayne and the
camera-man
filmed it.
Mickey and Mallory Knox are currently still at large, although the
FBI
investigation as to their whereabouts continues. Their official

club, the Owen Traft Society, has a membership of over 15 000, who
each
pay $35 a year for a newsletter and memorabilia relating to the

Ideas: The Author wants to show us how people are sensationalism
about
the
gruel in the world.
Opinions: I like the book because it is interesting to read about
the
life of
two persons who had to escape the police.
