&“An engrossing look inside Al Capone's murderous ranks.&” &–Kirkus Almost before the gunsmoke from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre cleared, Chicago police had a suspect: &“Machine Gun&” Jack McGurn. They just couldn't find him. But two weeks later police found McGurn and his paramour, Louise May Rolfe, holed up at the Stevens Hotel. Both claimed they were in bed on the morning of the shootings, a titillating alibi that grabbed the public's attention and never let go. Chicago Valentines is one of the most outrageous stories of the Capone era, a twin biography of a couple who defined the extremes and excesses of the Prohibition era in America. McGurn was a prizefighter, professional-level golfer, and the ultimate urban predator and hit man who put the iron in Al Capone's muscle. Rolfe, a beautiful blond dancer and libertine, was the epitome of fashion, rebellion, and wild abandon in a decade that shocked and roared. Every newspaper in the country followed their ongoing story. They were the most spellbinding subject of the new jazz subculture, an unforgettable duo who grabbed headlines and defined the exciting gangland world of 1920s Chicago. The story of Jack McGurn and Louise Rolfe, two lovers caught in history's spotlight, is more fascinating than any fiction. They were the prototypes for eighty years of gangster literature and cinema, representing a time that never loses its allure. Jeffrey Gusfield, a native Chicagoan, researched the history of Jack McGurn, Louise Rolfe, and the Capone years for more than four decades.

The Deadly Ones – Three stories about murders and the sociopaths that commit it. A corrupt politician accidentally kills his ex-secretary and has to disappear; an accomplice to fraud gets the tables turned on her when she tries to kill her partner in crime; and all of the murders surrounding a secret new gunsight. The Deadly One (1943) For a policewoman, Middie was a broth of a girl, and she had what it takes to get a man without using a gun. But when she met Carpenter, she had to prove she could be as tough as he was, because he had killed one girl, and she was next on his list. Chapter I Chapter II – Picture of a Killer Chapter III – Into It Chapter IV – Middie in the Middle Chapter V – Trial and Error Chapter VI – The Gun Was Loaded Chapter VII – Dead Man’s Buff It’ll Be Quiet Soon (1943) For a long time the girl had been the accomplice of a crook, yet he’d been so clever about it that she never suspected the fact. Now that she was married, he was trying to blackmail her, but she was as stubborn as he. Murder Enough (1942) The killer was intent on creating violent death, and with some success. ABC, being a pretty good detective and lucky, kept himself alive long enough to find out what was going on, and to discover that the two girls interested in the murders had different methods Chapter I Chapter II – Only a Whack? Chapter III – Start from Zero Chapter IV – Cops All Over Chapter V – ABC Is Not Simple Chapter VI – Value Received Chapter VII – A Matter of Murder Chapter VIII – The Grim Game The Deadly Ones has 27 illustrations.

A damsel in a dress was Garrett’s weakness, especially when she had equipment in all the right places. Still, Garrett wasn’t sure it was worth his life to take on Maggie Jenn, the ex-king’s ex-mistress, as his client. Not in a kingdom where the biggest con artists weren’t human, magic could beat any weapon, and the local killers were built like tanks. It seemed like a simple missing person’s case: a vanished teenage daughter, a distraught mother trying to track her down. But when a guy as well-connected as the Rainmaker was gunning to see Garrett permanently removed from the case, he knew he’d have to call in some big favors just to keep his head on his shoulders, let alone to find a kid who probably didn’t want to be found.

Jenny Jones was an orphan. There were painfully few safety nets in our society for young, orphaned females, Jenny married not a man of choice but for desperate need. When the alcoholic husband died in the bootleg war, leaving her with an infant son she was drawn into a private war- one of survival in a hostile world. Her son grown to manhood entered that world too. If there was one thing that both sought out of life, it was true love. Circumstances drew mother and son close together. The neighborhood would frown if they had openly showed their affection for each other. Long before Tom Brokaw, A.J. Ciulla knew that his generation was the greatest in the history of our republic. The three decades that encompass the duration of Dark Passions are those that molded the character of the nation. The book is by no means meant to glorify the past. The warts and beauty marks are evenly distributed. This is not A.J. Ciulla the short story writer. Dark Passions is a hard-hitting with no holds barred novel.
