<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>The real story behind the women waiting to stand trial for murder on "Murderess Row" in the 1920s, as made famous in the hit musical <i>Chicago</i>. Told through archival photos, original reporting, and new analysis from the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Beulah Annan. Belva Gaertner. Kitty Malm. Sabella Nitti. These are the real women of <i>Chicago</i>.</b> <p/>You probably know Roxie and Velma, the good-time gals of the 1926 satirical play <i>Chicago</i> and its wildly successful musical and movie adaptations. You might not know that Roxie, Velma, and the rest of the colorful characters of the play were inspired by real prisoners held in "Murderess Row" in 1920s Chicago--or that the reporter who covered their trials for the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> went on to write the play <i>Chicago</i>. <p/>Now, more than 90 years later, the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> has uncovered photographs and newspaper clippings telling the story of the four women who inspired the timeless characters of <i>Chicago</i>. But these photos tell a different story--and itʼs not all about glamour, fashion, and celebrity. They show a young mother in jail hugging her two-year-old daughter. They show an immigrant woman who doesnʼt speak the language of her judge, jury, and attorney. And they show women who used their images to sway public opinion--and their juries. <p/><i>He Had It Coming</i> collects recently discovered photos, original newspaper clippings, and stories from <i>Tribune</i> reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins as well as new analysis written by <i>Tribune</i> film critic Michael Phillips, theater critic Chris Jones, and columnists Heidi Stevens and Rick Kogan to build a fascinating history of women in crime in Jazz Age Chicago, a history that takes on new meaning in today's #MeToo moment.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The <i>Chicago Tribune</i>, founded in 1847, is the flagship newspaper of the Chicago Tribune Media Group. Its staff comprises dedicated, award-winning journalists who have authored many bestselling books.
