Product info
<p><i>Things began as they usually did: Someone shot someone else.</i> So begins a chapter of Michael Lesy's disturbingly satisfying account of Chicago in the 1920s, the epicenter of Murder in America. Just as Lesy's first book, <i>Wisconsin Death Trip</i>, subverted the accepted notion of the Gay Nineties, so <i>Murder City</i> exposes the dark side of the Jazz Age. Revisiting seventeen Chicago murder cases--including that of Belva and Beulah, two murderesses whose trials inspired the musical <i>Chicago</i>--Lesy's sharp, fearless storytelling makes a compelling case that this collection of criminals may be progenitors of our modern age.</p>
