| Summary |
A realistic look at the violence that shook America's past, this gritty series pays tribute to stoic gangbuster Eliot Ness and his incorruptible treasury agents as they battle organized crime. In this volume, it looks like Frank Nitti's evil empire might be crumbling -- but then heroin becomes the new drug of choice. Now the rivalry between Ness and Nitti intensifies. |
