Sam Bass - The Kind-Hearted Killer

11 pp · Western-Frontier

Young Sam Bass drifts into Denton, Texas and gets drawn into the outlaw life after a chance encounter leads him to work for Joe Cole—but his real education comes when a crooked poker game and a stolen railroad timetable spark an idea for quick fortune. What begins as a single train robbery sets Bass on a path that transforms him from a ranch hand into a notorious highwayman, all while maintaining a reputation as the most generous man in town, buying rounds and giving freely from stolen gold. As his crimes escalate and the law closes in, the contradiction between his kind heart and his violent hands grows impossible to ignore.

Eddie the Duke - The Midwest Czar Of Murder

9 pp · Crime

A ruthless mobster called Eddie the Duke buys control of a Midwest town through elections and brute force, but his grip tightens when rival gangs from Chicago and beyond move in to seize his operation. As the Duke fights to maintain his empire through violence and treachery—bribing cops, planting fake officers, and eliminating rivals—former associates plot against him, sensing his reign is finally vulnerable. In this true crime tale, one man's hold on absolute power begins to crumble under the weight of his own ruthlessness.
