Bücher von Bruce Rubenstein

This book is a compilation of true crime stories by prize-winning author Bruce Rubenstein, including "The Milwaukee Avenue Massacre," the Chicago Magazine article that resulted in the pardon of four men who were wrongfully convicted of murder. "Danny's Boat" is a chronicle of modern-day piracy and murder involving a double-agent for the Mafia and the CIA. The book takes its title from the lead story, the saga of the O'Kasick gang, a band of armed robbers led by a sociopath who wanted to die in a shoot-out with the police. "Star Stalker" tells the tale of one of Hollywood's most dangerous stalkers, and "Last Train" goes inside the investigation of a string of hobo slayings, ultimately found to be the work of a serial killer.

Taking out an insurance policy on your most important employee then murdering him is not the kind of plan they teach in business school, but it just might work.Three beautiful women seem to think that's what happened, but it's hard to convince a skeptic like private investigator Martin McDonough. They're as surprised as you will be when they find out the truth.

Martin McDonough is a private detective whose investigations are usually successful because he knows how to get the low-down from his copper friends-a formula that works for a long time, but not forever. This noir mystery novel follows him from 1930s St. Paul, where a corrupt police force creates a haven for trigger-happy gangsters, to post-World War II San Francisco, where the jazz scene and the local mob uneasily coexist. In McDonough's world people are getting shot all time, but not by him... if he can help it. Trouble is, it's hard to be nice to the kind of rats he keeps running into.
