16 True Crime Stories

Here's Volume 4 of True Crime Stories.

This one features:

Dillinger  - Mad Dog of the Mid West

Infamous bank robber, gangster and latter day Robin Hood, John Dillinger and his gang robbed two dozen banks and several police stations and it’s estimated he and his associates were responsible for the deaths of up to 13 lawmen.   Dubbed ‘Public Enemy No 1’ during the Great Depression, he was wounded at least once, escaped from prison on two occasions and J Edgar Hoover used his notoriety at as platform to help develop the FBI into a more potent weapon against organized crime.

Capone’s Trigger Men

To John Scalisi and his shadow Albert Anselmi, murder was a business and with a partner like Al Capone providing  them with plenty of ‘contracts’ the blood thirsty duo were soon known in gangland as ‘Capone’s Trigger Men’.  But working for one of the most infamous gangsters in history could only end one way.

Charlie Birger - A Short and Bloody Life

The vicious feud between Charles Birger and the Shelton brothers made bloody history in the annals of mass murder.  Prominent participants in the St Valentine’s Day massacre, the gun blazing sadism of these two mobs has gone down in criminal history as one of the most savage periods of lawlessness ever known in America.

The Unknowns

Experts in murder and specialists in robbery, they carved a trail of heinous deeds and marked it with their dead. The trans-city armored car job and the Lido Club robbery were just two milestones on their violent paths of crime – yet no one knew them..!

You can download it from the Kindle Store now..!  Just US$2.99 

Here's my latest book now available on Kindle - "Very Bad Women"

It's 5 true stories of some pretty dastardly 'ladies' which is a slight variation  on my previous books.

This time there are 5 instead of 4 stories and each one is longer than in the "True Crime" series - the price is still the same however at US$2.99  - at least for now :-)

You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of any of these women..!

I hope you like it...!

My short stories are intended to move along rapidly with fast talking characters, plenty of action and fun to read.

There's no over the top violence and blood letting, (plenty of murders though), there's a sprinkling of mild profanity commonly used in those times and there's no sex. Lots of  "dames and "molls" of course, so imagination will have to come in to play - hope that doesn't disappoint.

You could safely leave this open on your Kindle and not worry if one of the kids picked it up.

Thanks for taking a look at my books, and if you decide to buy any, I hope you enjoy your brief visit to a bygone era of American crime.

Volume 3 contains:

"Pretty Boy" Floyd - The Baby Faced Killer

When the gates of the Missouri State Penitentiary clanged open one day in March 1929, out stepped a handsome 22 year old guy who vowed never to return. Under the nick name of "Pretty Boy" he carved himself a blood spattered career which electrified America and could only end one way.

Jack "Legs" Diamond

Brought up in the misery and squalor of Hell's Kitchen, Jack "Legs" Diamond became one of ganglands most ruthless and vicious members and for a while led what seemed a charmed life - all bad things come to an end though....

Waxey Gordon

Petty thief, hoodlum, pickpocket, he started life as plain Irving Wexler, but as "Waxey Gordon" climbed the ranks of thugdom to become king of New Yorks underworld. His ambiton and greed attracted the attention of the same guys who brought Capone to justice - no contest.

Machine Gun Kelly

Easy going George thought he was doing OK, but the fateful night in 1927 he met Kathy Shannon changed his future for ever. Her ambition and goading, plus her idea to arm him with the gun he was named after, took them from bootlegging to bank robbery, kidnapping and life in jail.

Volume 3 is available on Kindle now:

Most of the gangsters in my stories did not live to an old age, and those that did were probably in jail.
 
Their escapades were daring and reckless and many paid the ultimate price in the end.

Volume 2 contains:

Antonio Boccadora - The Human Cat

Alias Joe Barry, Tony Lopez and many more
Crimes: Murder and Burglary

Boccadora was called the Human Cat because of his stealth, cunning and ferocity. When caught in an act of crime his specialty was diving through closed windows - not an easy guy to capture.

Frankie Yale - The "Al Capone" of Brooklyn

His authority was never questioned, his judgment final and the court of last resort amongst Sicilians.
He exploited them to the limit growing rich and powerful on their loyalty but he couldn't win an argument with a tommy gun.....

Gang War in Manhattan

In the East Side streets of New York a gangster with the heart of a snake and the soul of a monster roamed. Before his gruesome end his reign of bloodshed and terror earned him the nickname "Kid Dropper - King of Killers"

Ray Sutherland - The Terror of Mohawk Valley

He blazed a ruthless trail of death across Lane County, Oregon, and terrorized anyone who dared oppose him. Sutherland hated all police but especially the Sheriff's deputy who vowed to avenge the cold blooded death of his buddy.

Do you like true crime stories?

You should love these tales then.

Originally authentic police files, True American Crime Stories are from the 1920s through to the 1950s - the era of gangster, molls and prohibition. Almost (but not quite), lost in the mists of time, these tales romp along with plenty of action and recreate the atmosphere of this exciting and dangerous era by using the vernacular of the times. You may not have heard much about these bad guys, but they were real, ruthless hoodlums and all had their "15 minutes of fame", leaving trails of death and mayhem behind them. Most did not live to an old age, and those that did were probably in jail. Their escapades were daring and reckless and many paid the ultimate price in the end.

Volume 1 contains: 

The Jekyll and Hyde Mob 

After a rash of robberies, lawmen of the Los Angeles Sheriff's office had killed off or jailed every gang of bank robbers in the county. However, three suave gentlemen continued to loot the banks in daring fashion, leaving the lawmen completely clueless.

The Whispering Bride

Death cast its long, silent shadow over a sleepy New England town as Mrs. Wegner, a widow, waved good-bye to the last of the summer boarders. Little did she realize that she was waving good-bye forever, that death would soon claim her as its victim in the strange case of THE WHISPERING BRIDE.

The Red Bandit 

The desperation of a hunted man gave Oklahoma its greatest reign of terror when a youth, vowing never to serve a 75 year rap for robbery, set off a series of events that gave the authorities a veritable nightmare as they pursued their quest down the bloody trail of crime.

The Master Forgers
Counterfeit checks - hundreds of them - were flooding Milwaukee in 1937 and 1938 until science scored a victory for the law!
