Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher: Hunting America's Deadliest Unidentified Serial Killer at the Dawn of Modern Criminology by A. Brad Schwartz, Max Allan Collins

3.25

challenging dark informative sad tense medium-paced

---

Informative book about Elliott Ness, his colleagues and his efforts to modernize the police force while dealing with rampant crime and the Mob.  Not much info in comparator the Butcher Murders.  Did Ness really know who he was? Ness was basically a good person, but he did have serious flaws.
