Аннотация

Chicago, 1934. Corruption and intrigue run rampant among the cops and the politicians, who vie for power with organized crime. Sally Rand dances at the World’s Fair, gangster Frank Nitti holds court in a posh hotel suite, Baby Face Nelson and Ma Barker and her boys terrorize the countryside, and G-man Melvin Purvis makes J. Edgar Hoover’s reputation while the street in front of the Biograph Theater runs red with blood. Into this turbulent and dangerous world steps Nathan Heller, a tough but honest private eye trying to make a living in hard times. But his search for a farmer’s-daughter-turned-gun-moll catapults him into the midst of a daring assault on Hoover’s empire and a police plot against the elusive John Dillinger that leaves some crucial questions unanswered. Heller’s investigations send him undercover into the bucolic world of farmhouse hideouts and dusty back roads — until, back in Chicago’s Loop, the sound of machine-gun fire brings the curtain down suddenly on an entire outlaw era.
