In Plane Sight: Before 9/11: An Untold Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781448634163)

The world watched in horror as passenger planes crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. But it wasn't the only story to make headlines that infamous day. A 30-year-old cold case was solved. Veteran crime reporter Bob Mitchell tells the untold story behind the international hunt and arrest of Patrick Critton, a former black militant, who lived a double life as a respected school teacher, model citizen, community activist and mentor of troubled youth in America's largest city. His capture just days before 9/11 is as amazing a story as his intriguing life journey. It's a tale of a rebel boy, who grew up in poverty, went to university and became an underground cell leader, a bank robber, a hijacker and a Cuban sugar cane farmer before turning his life around. Using interviews, court transcripts, newspaper files and Critton's own words, Mitchell paints a revealing portrait of a fugitive who spent 30 years running away from his own conscience.
