{"product_id":"1960s-austin-gangsters-jesse-sublett-9781626198401","title":"1960s Austin Gangsters: Organized Crime That Rocked the Capital","description":"Timmy Overton of Austin and Jerry Ray James of Odessa were football stars who traded athletics for lives of crime. The original rebels without causes, nihilists with Cadillacs and Elvis hair, the Overton gang and their associates formed a ragtag white trash mafia that bedazzled Austin law enforcement for most of the 1960s. Tied into a loose network of crooked lawyers, pimps and used car dealers who became known as the \"traveling criminals,\" they burglarized banks and ran smuggling and prostitution rings all over Texas. Author Jesse Sublett presents a detailed account of these Austin miscreants, who rose to folk hero status despite their violent criminal acts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesse Sublett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626198403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626198401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.47w x 0.35d","brand":"Jesse Sublett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996387246335,"sku":"9781626198401","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1fe1912-f0c4-4d13-9f8b-e2fcfad8963e.jpg?v=1683341400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1960s-austin-gangsters-jesse-sublett-9781626198401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
