Synopsis
George "Bugs" Moran was the last of Chicago's spectacular North Side gang leaders, a colourful and violent dynasty that began with the rise of Dean O'Banion in 1920. It looks as the enigmatic gangster's charmed yet wacky life, from his Minnesota childhood to his rise and fall in Chicago's prohibition-era underworld.

The Man Who Got Away5
Most people have heard of Bugs Moran but who really knows him, Canadian author Rose Keefe puts that right by getting behind the headlines and revealing the full story of Bugs Moran's life and times.Just as she did in her first book, Guns and Roses:The Untold Story of Dean O'Banion,Chicago's Big Shot Before Al Capone, she puts a human face on people who up to know were just a part of the Al Capone Story.This is the way to write true crime:report the facts,dispel the myths,and tell a good story.
