## Description

Organized crime in Chicago

Review: Murder Most Foul - And True - Read it - Professor Johnson has made an important contribution to the history of crime in general, and specifically to organized crime study about the blood-soaked past of the Chicagoland area. This interesting and easy to read compendium should be on the shelf of anyone who seeks expertise about the mob. A great deal of the information in this book would have been lost to history were it not for the initiative of Wayne Johnson. If you have not read "A History Of Violence" you don't know how violent the history of Chicagoland has been. Peter J. Puleo author "Cop on the Scene" available on desertcart.
Review: Informative - Very interesting

Very interesting

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A worthwhile book despite grade school editing
*by J***K on November 15, 2015*

A fascinating book that reveals the extent of mob-related murders in Chicago. However, some serious editing should have been done before publication. The poor use of punctuation and occasionally weird sentence construction forced me to read some entries a couple of times to understand them. There's also an entry that's so obviously wrong that I can't imagine how it got into the book. On page 203, referring to the arrests of Carl Austin Hall and Bonnie Brown [Heady] for the kidnapping/murder of Bobby Greenlease, he wrote, "The results of the prosecution are unknown". It's fairly well known that they were executed.
