Al Capone, Johnny Torrio and Virginia
A thriller written about American gangster life in the 1920’s based on well-researched facts but cast in the form of a novel.
This is an undeniably violent historical perspective about how an innocent (although not that innocent), angelic young girl is able to infiltrate the power structures of the most dangerous gangs the world has ever experienced, ending up wealthy beyond imagination.
She has a brother who has been cultivated as one of Capone and Torrio’s henchmen.
What she and her brother do will leave the reader aghast.
The book Al Capone, Johnny Torrio and Virginia is a chilling depiction, thoroughly captivating in its nearly unthinkable cruelty, of how America’s gangster world wielded its menacing influence on society. No matter how many attempts are made to minimize Al Capone’s contributions to American history, his legend lives on. For an absolutely ruthless man, he possessed a broad emotional palette, one which lent him an irresistable romantic aura. Al Capone was who he was, and he is sure to remain so in history books.
In a thriller, the point of departure is frequently a murder or another crime, and from here the reader works toward a solution by means of logic. This novel is more like a horrifying adventure during Prohibition in America during the 1920’s, where the rules of the street replaced the rule of law and set the scene for a “dangerous angel”.
