Chicago has long had a reputation as being a rough-and-tumble metropolis full of shady characters and run by politicians of dubious moral character. This hard-hitting true-crime expose indicates that the city was already earning its notoriety in the late nineteenth century. Author L. O. Curon spins a page-turning account of Chicago's gritty, crime-ridden streets.
