Publisher's Synopsis
On March 1, 1932, the sleeping infant son of American hero Charles Lindbergh was snatched from his crib. Four years later, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed for the baby's murder, but six decades later, the crime of the century retains its hold on the world's imagination.
BIRTHRIGHT stirs the ashes of this gripping tragedy by supposing that the kidnapping is the work of Hauptmann and his two childhood friends. In this moving and remarkably compelling novel, Coburn has woven an extraordinary tale of desire and grief, of deception and trust - and of love and how it can destroy as easily as it can heal.
