Book Description
The Purple Gang was a loosely organised confederation of mobsters who dominated the Detroit underworld and whose tentacles reached across the country. Beginning in the Prohibition Era, the Purple Gang prevailed in distilling alcohol and running liquor from Canada, kidnapping and labour racketeering. This is the hitherto untold story of the rise and fall of one of America’s most notorious criminal groups.
