About This Item
New York: Crown, 2019. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/near fine. Clean and unmarked in like new condition. First printing, full number line. If you've seen Boardwalk Empire you've already met the bootlegger George Remus. Karen Abbott tells the story of Remus rise and fall with a novelists eye. . . . I was transfixed, not only by the incredible research that informed this compulsively readable book but also by what the story reveals about human nature, the interplay of brilliant and unpredictable individuals and the societies in which they live, and the way that greed, fame and lust can [corrupt]and have [corrupted] the motives of both lovers and enemies. If you are a fan of true crime, historical nonfiction and the Jazz Age, this is not a book to miss.BookPage (starred review)
