Unlock the Mystery of Alcatraz: A Deep Dive into "Inseparable," a novel by David Kruh
What happened to three inmates who, in 1962, escaped from Alcatraz in a raft they constructed inside the prison? INSEPARABLE is a novel based on the escape that was published in June, 2022, on the sixtieth anniversary of the escape.In this novel, two of the escapees, the Anglin brothers, are helped to freedom by a thirteen year-old boy. He finds them, barely alive, on a tiny beach just south of Sausalito, where he lived with his mother, a Korean War widow. In the novel, the boy helps the Anglins evade the cops, the FBI, the Coast Guard, an obsessed member of the media – as well as the boy's mother.
