Exhaustively researched. Gripping - especially bits around the deaths of the various gangsters. Shows how the various famous people interconnected. Also how Dillinger invented the gangster movie tropes: the swaggering, cheerful, super smart crim, with a psycho gang member (Baby Face Nelson). Lots I didn't know like how Purvis stuffed up so often and the sheer trial and error undertaken by the FBI. Very good book.
