Harvard Gunther was the last of Chicago's robber bacons - the last and the greatest. Harv was a crook, because it was in his nature. He was a free and wealthyman because he was a master of blackmail and bribery; because he was ruthless against those who threatened him.Red Kane was a cynical, crusading columnist- who'd been publicly after Gunther for a long time. But henever got quite close enough. And then, out of the blue, Red got the lead he'd needed. A retired madam hiding out in the jungles of Brazil was suddenly demandingjustice for a murdered girl, a child prostitute who had died at the hands of Harv Gunther.Overnight, Red Kane was to be transformed from a hard-drinking, disappointed man with enoughproblems in his life to keep him drinking for the next fifty years, to the hammer of God. But even with God behind him, Red Kane would have to decide whethergetting Harv Gunther was worth the life of his own wife... ;Shocking... controversial... provocative - here is an unforgettable story from a master storyteller.
