The book also covers more recent figures in the Outfit, including Anthony "Joe Batters" Accardo's rise from Frank Nitti's enforcer to the boss of the Chicago Outfit. Jenkins vividly portrays chilling events, from the brutal murder of B-girl Estelle Carey to the Chicago Police Intelligence Unit's raid on an Outfit gambling den. Readers will also gain insight into the notorious Chicago Outfit's 26th Street Crew through Jenkins's interview with Frank Calabrese Jr., who famously testified against his father, Frank Calabrese Sr. In Chapter Seven, Jenkins delves into the life and career of Harry Aleman, one of the Outfit's most prolific killers.
