Multiple award-winner Loren D. Estleman has produced a major biographical novel on the infamous Mobster known as Scarface, rigorously researched and deftly nuanced to offer an intimate portrait of the gangster whose terrible crimes and larger-than-life persona have both fascinated and appalled the world for nearly a century; whose legacy is still widely debated; and whose brutally ambitious career in the Mafia continues to inspire filmmakers and writers...

With a backdrop of the roaring 1920s, the Italian and Irish mobs bloody the streets of Chicago during the infamous gangland wars. Al Capone, and his Machine Gunner Jack McGurn, take on Bugs Moran and the Irish mob in a battle that culminates with the Valentine's Day Massacre.

Al Capone established himself as America's most notorious gangster ... a wild, glamorous man with a passion for opera ... a ruthless, vindictive mobster who was generous and loyal to friends and family.

The 47-year old Al Capone, after ten years in prison, starts suffering from dementia and comes to be haunted by his violent past.
