Why read it?

History comes alive in this mysterious story of a prohibition finagler and his underground operation.

I enjoyed how Bob Batchelor gives us the dirt on this smuggler of the prohibition years: his business, his secrets, his cronies, and his enemies. This is a stunningly sharp narrative that reads like a novel. 

From Robert's list on books where history meets mystery.
