Killers from the Sticks
9 pp · crime

When country brothers Chuck, Ted, and Ezra Gordon start undercutting bootlegger Nick Kivac's prices with their own homemade hooch, they have no idea they've made an enemy who settles disputes with bullets. As Kivac orchestrates a brutal campaign to eliminate the competition, the Gordon brothers fight back with violence of their own, and innocent lives get caught in the crossfire. A hard-hitting crime story from 1953 that shows how Prohibition's underground economy breeds ruthless men on both sides of the law.

Kill-Crazy Fred "Banjo" Blore
9 pp · crime
Fred "Banjo" Blore (first appearancedeath)

Fred "Banjo" Blore starts as a small-time crook in 1921, stealing a banjo from a pawnshop and later getting arrested for armed robbery—but his obsession with that instrument, combined with a vicious beating that leaves him psychologically scarred, transforms him into something far more dangerous. When he's released back onto the streets in the mid-1920s, his hair-trigger rage and twisted mind begin to spiral into something truly murderous. This is the incredible true crime story of how a petty criminal became the city's most ruthless one-man crime wave.

Violence
6 pp · crime

Albert Dell climbs from street-level enforcer to North Side crime boss by gunning down Jake Finnell, earning himself a promotion and a seat at the table with the organization's other district leaders. Drunk on his newfound power and the success of his ruthless methods, Dell methodically eliminates his rivals—Chicago Bill Deevers, Mike Adler, and anyone else standing between him and total control—until internal warfare erupts and his former protector, the mysterious "Little Hercules" Hanover, tracks him down for a final reckoning in an empty garage.
