Within two years he's a multi-millionaire. The press calls him "King of the Bootleggers," writing breathless stories about the Gatsby-esque events he and his glamorous second wife, Imogene, host at their Cincinnati mansion, with party favors ranging from diamond jewelry for the men to brand-new Pontiacs for the women. By the summer of 1921, Remus owns 35 percent of all the liquor in the United States. Pioneering prosecutor Mabel Walker Willebrandt is determined to bring him down. Willebrandt's bosses at the U.S. Attorney's office hired her right out of law school, assuming she'd pose no real threat to the cozy relationship they maintain with Remus. Eager to prove them wrong, she dispatches her best investigator, Franklin Dodge, to look into his empire. It's a decision with deadly consequences: with Remus behind bars, Franklin and Imogene begin an affair and plot to ruin him, sparking a bitter feud that soon reaches the highest levels of government--and that can only end in murder. Combining deep historical research with novelistic flair, THE GHOSTS OF EDEN PARK is the unforgettable, stranger-than-fiction story of a rags-to-riches entrepreneur and a long-forgotten heroine, of the excesses and absurdities of the Jazz Age, and of the infinite human capacity to deceive"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A narrative history of George Remus, who the press called "king of the bootleggers," and a Jazz-Age murder trial"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Remus, George, $d 1878-1952 $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z Cincinnati $z Cincinnati $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Uxoricide $x History $z Cincinnati $z Cincinnati $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Alcohol trafficking $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1918-1932. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 55 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020203.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023848.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033657.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010259.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020254.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015737.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014759.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012141.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006012515.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014201.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013826.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020131.0 952 $l ENPC715 $d 20220820012838.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223010506.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023152.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118021719.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924015642.0 952 $l SZPC124 $d 20210901010901.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061804.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200801010333.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010330.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20200512013515.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013145.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010257.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20200310040848.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110082342.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20191219010302.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20191218010326.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20191214033605.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20191214010838.0 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20191213011103.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013828.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20191210011605.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20191204010820.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20191119023648.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20191114010830.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20191114010426.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20191113011317.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20191112020641.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20191107010127.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20191106010225.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20191102015715.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20191024010523.0 952 $l KDPB896 $d 20191018012508.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20191015014642.0 952 $l ZSPC475 $d 20191011012415.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191005013247.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191005010531.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20190918024440.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190913010049.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190910011837.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190905012358.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190904010918.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20190821010142.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190807010050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5423B06B8D811E9B6BAF6FA96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
