"CITY OF SCOUNDRELS" BY GARY KRIST HAS YOU HOOKED FROM PAGE ONE
Anyone who lives in Chicago, visits Chicago or has friends or family in Chicago will love this book.

I thought the great fire was the biggest bit or history Chicago had until prohibition and the mob took over the city but there's another great story to tell.

The year is 1919 and the story begins with the crash of a blimp that goes down, in flames, right in the middle of the downtown loop which is the start of nine days of disaster that gave birth to modern Chicago.

This is not fiction.  It's a carefully documented true story that reads like a runaway train.  This video will give you an idea.
