Hatchet Man
9.833 pp · crime

Chung Maio arrives in America in 1933 as an ambitious young man seeking to prove himself worthy in the On Leong Tong, but his hunger for power leads him down a dark path of violence and treachery that makes him one of Chinatown's most feared leaders. When the police begin closing in on the tong wars and his own brother questions the corruption consuming the organization, Chung Maio finds his grip on power—and his life—increasingly threatened by forces he can no longer control. This hard-hitting true-crime tale charts the rise and fall of a ruthless tong killer in the bloody underworld of 1930s America.

In this true-crime tale, an unsuspecting tobacconist becomes the unwitting distribution point for a marijuana racket when smooth-talking salesmen convince him to peddle their "special cigarettes" at premium prices.

In 1931, Leo Bezemer killed his neighbor Robert Carlson near Raymond, Washington in a dispute over cattle—a crime he claimed was self-defense but a jury rejected, sentencing him to life in prison. After sixteen years of good behavior, Bezemer was assigned to work a farm detail across from the penitentiary, where he seized his moment and made a daring escape in 1947. Now authorities are hunting this dangerous fugitive, offering a reward for information leading to his capture.

A brash young rookie named Harold Moore requests assignment to the rough South Side beat in 1927, eager for the action and danger that come with policing one of the city's most crime-ridden neighborhoods. What follows is a chronicle of his remarkable survival: stabbed by a knife-wielding madman, shot by safe crackers, beaten by rioters, and caught in deadly crossfires—yet each time he recovers and returns to duty, earning a fearsome reputation that transforms the South Side itself. As Moore rises from patrolman to detective and beyond, his uncanny ability to survive the unsurvivable becomes legend among both honest citizens and hardened criminals alike.
