Maureen Hughes was first introduced to Countess Marajen Chinigo in
the 1980s in a hospital room in Champaign, Illinois. Assigned to
provide personal security to the Countess, Hughes knew few details
about the woman she was protecting. Little did she know that
Countess Chinigo was a woman connected to some of the most
notorious and famous-or infamous-people of the twentieth century.
Hughes did not see the Countess again until a few years later at
a local art museum. Intrigued by the impeccably dressed woman who
strolled through the crowd like a queen, Hughes vowed to find out
all she could about the mysterious Countess. As Hughes shares the
fascinating story she uncovered after conducting three years of
research and in-depth conversations with friends of the Countess,
she unveils a time period where mobsters, presidents, celebrities,
and countesses all mingled among dark, captivating secrets. Hughes
reveals details about the famous figures the Countess hobnobbed
with like Frank Sinatra, Joan Crawford, and Lucky Luciano, her
marriage to Johnny Rosselli, and her eventual entanglements with
the Mafia.
The Countess and the Mob paints a compelling portrait of the
kaleidoscopic shapes and colors that made up the extraordinary and
unforgettable life of Countess Marajen Stevick Chinigo.
