The stories of America’s ‘Most Wanted’ – the most infamous criminals ever to blight a so-called civilized society.

Mobsters or gangsters have been romanticized in movies and on TV countless times over the past eighty years. But the men who terrorized New York and Chicago in the 1920s and 1930s, making fortunes from gambling, prostitution, ‘protection’ rackets, bribery, corruption, extortion, drug dealing, assassination, robbery and, during the Prohibition era, bootlegging, were not cosy fictional characters. They were violent, ruthless murderers who created a framework for organized crime that still exists today. The stories of fifteen such men are featured in this book.
