THE
CONFESSIONS OF AL CAPONE
Forge Books
says:
"While Capone's
life has been a matter of public interest for nearly seventy
years, it has never been told like this. Loren D. Estleman, one
of the most accomplished novelists of our generation, captures
in an epic novel of Capone's life the ugliness of his crimes,
the light and dark moments of his past, blending them seamlessly
into a major American novel of our time."
At 26, he was the most powerful crime lord in history.
He was barely 30 at the time of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
