Elmhurst Reads: Notorious Chicago Author Visits

Gary Krist, author of City of Scoundrels and Jeffrey Gusfield, author of Deadly Valentines, present the final ELMHURST READS: Notorious Chicago event of 2014. Deadly Valentines is the true crime story of Al Capone's henchman "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn and Louise Rolfe, his blonde alibi. City of Scoundrels is the masterfully told true story of twelve volatile days in Chicago, when an aviation disaster, a race riot, a crippling transit strike, and a sensational child murder transfixed and roiled a city already on the brink of collapse.
