While researching a book on Depression-era outlaws, Playboy
editor William J. Helmer stumbled upon a 600-page manuscript on
John Dillinger. Written in the 1930s by G. Russell Girardin but
never published, Dillinger: The Untold Story is a captivating and
revealing account of Dillinger's life and crimes, based in part on
information given to Girardin by the outlaw's lawyer, Louis
Piquett, shortly after Dillinger's death. Though a series of
articles written by Girardin and Piquett appeared in various
newspapers at the time, the manuscript continued to yellow on the
shelf for half a century until Helmer met Girardin and agreed to
help get it published. This anniversary edition is filled with more
illustrations and new information from FBI files and other sources,
making it a rich and authentic slice of American history and a
feast for true crime buffs.
