HERE'S TO CRIME

by Courtney Riley Cooper ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 5, 1937

An unparalleled compilation of not too pretty stories and facts about the biggest industry in America, crime. Very revealing, this volume indicates the why and how and wherefore of crime, how it lives and flourishes. From the gangster to the fence to the prostitute, crime pays and pays well. Cooper knows his criminals, he knows their game, their methods, their profits, their jargon. This is an accurate and engrossing exposÉ of every type of racket. A fine job of reporting, with inside stories of Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Count Lustig-Miller, etc. all of which has a lure for sensation chaser. It's plain speaking, raw, true -- a plea for a better brand of law enforcement. You know your market -- this repeats, in flavor, but has new material, and Cooper spins a good yarn.
