Disclaimer: This book was provided to me by the publisher in return of my unbiased opinion/review.

Chicago has always been close to my heart having been lived there for almost 16 years so any chance I get to explore Chicago either through books or taking a stroll through the city is always thrilling. The title of this book intrigued me and hence I decided to read this book. Chicago is known for many things its chilly winters, deep dish pizza but first and foremost its crime. This book focus on the criminal history of Chicago through its criminals. The author has done a wonderful job by piecing together crime stories chronologically using newspaper archives of one of the most prominent newspaper of the time. The stories flow nicely and full of interesting details that is sure to keep the reader glued.
Overall, I really recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history of Chicago.
