description: For fourty years, George Murray was the chief crime reporter for the leading Hearst paper in Chicago. He witnessed the "Bloody Twenties", and gives up portraits of all its notorious gangsters, relates many stranger-than-fiction anecdotes of crime and corruption, murders, beatings, and torture, and introduces all the crooked politicians and judges who reaped fortunes in the shadow of Al Capone's Chicago. The story begins with the burial of Al Capone and continues to focus on how the infamous Chicago boss continued to influence his successors. Here are the stories of men like Jake Guzik, Murray Humphreys, Big Bill Thompson, Willie Bioff, and Slim Alex-who they were and how they carried on Capone's legacy of crime.
