Description

1934 Chicago dazzles with fast action and calculating, cold-blooded meanA¬ness as private detective Nate Heller combs Chicagoâ?Ts North Side looking for John Dillinger. But things take a turn for the strange when self-aggrandizing G-Man Melvin Purvis shoots down a Dillinger double in front of the Biograph Theater. Full of muscle and oozing Chicagoâ?Ts tough-guy persona to the hilt, Max Allan Collinsâ?T Nate Heller is the ultimate private investigatorâ?"in the ultimate P.I. town. Hellerâ?Ts undercover search for a farmerâ?Ts-daughter-turned-gun-moll has him on the dusty Depression backroads of middle America, in the company of Ma Barker and her boys, Baby Face Nelson, Alvin Karpis, and a very-much-still-alive Dillingerâ?"whose outlandish plan to kidnap J. Edgar Hoover in downtown Chicago is one Heller tries to foil. Including appearances by fan dancer Sally Rand, boxer Barney Ross, and Hellerâ?Ts â?ogodfather,â?? Frank Nitti, True Crime is a relentless classic.
