"Fascinating stuff, it includes interviews with friends and family of June, gardaí, American law enforcement officers and the judge who approved his extradition."

"...a doozy that goes all the way back to 1967...exhaustively researched...Runaway Joe has all the ingredients for a gripping true-crime narrative, and in the capable hands of Barter and Desmond…"
