Introduction: The third way

1 Early bolters

2 Row the boat away

3 The killers

4 Dying with their boots on

5 Breaking out or in is (sometimes) hard to do

6 Just as deadly

7 Up and away

8 In and out of court

9 Taking hostages

10 Comers and goers

11 Again, and again, and again …

12 One step ahead

13 Staying and still out

14 The last great escapes

15 And still they try
