Return again to the scene of the crime and visit the secret
hideouts of Nazi saboteurs, anarchist plotters, charlatans, fakers,
gangsters, and even a love-sick matron dubbed the "Torso Killer."
See up close the murdering matrimonial bluebeard Johann Hoch and
probe the unsolved mysteries surrounding the disappearance of candy
heiress Helen Brach, the sinking of the "Christmas Tree Ship," and
dozens of famous gangland "rubouts." This sequel to the
best-selling Return to the Scene of the Crime is a provocative
travel guide and road map pointing toward more dark and unexplored
corners of the Windy City and its surrounding suburbs. The bizarre,
the unexpected, and the offbeat are viewed through a kaleidoscope
of colorful Chicago neighborhoods populated by outrageous
characters. Crime scenes are presented in "then-and-now"
perspective with running commentary on the history of the city.
Included in the neighborhood tours is a unique collection of side
trips--shorter, lighter historical vignettes that spirit
out-of-towners to places of interest in Chicago that are not
necessarily infamous. Once you have read this guidebook, you will
want to return to the scene of the crime, again and again.
