The Stranger in the Woods

Michael Finkel tells the incredible story of Christopher Knight, a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, surviving by stealing from nearby cabins. Finkels book is a fascinating exploration of solitude, survival, and the human need for connection. While not a traditional 'murder' true crime book, it is a compelling investigation into a life lived outside the bounds of society. Finkels writing is thoughtful and engaging, making this a unique and highly recommended read for those interested in the fringes of human experience.
