So begins a chapter of this sharp, fearless collection from a master storyteller. Revisiting seventeen Chicago murder cases including that of Belva and Beulah, two murderesses whose trials inspired the musical Chicago Michael Lesy captures an extraordinary moment in American history, bringing to life a city where newspapers scrambled to cover the latest mayhem.
