10 pp · crime

Four ambitious brothers—Tony, Angelo, Mike, and Jimmy—decide Chicago's booze racket is theirs for the taking in 1922, muscling their way into the alcohol trade with homemade stills, brutal coercion, and a ruthlessness that even rivals the established mob boss Klondike Myles. As the Genna name spreads terror through speakeasy owners and slum dwellers alike, their violent climb toward power sets them on a collision course with forces determined to stop them. This tale from *Crime Must Pay the Penalty* #37 charts the rise of four thugs who treat the city like a shooting gallery—where everything and everyone is fair game.

When the violence threatens to destroy everything, Birger makes a desperate move that could change the course of the entire conflict.
