Publishers Weekly has given a starred review to my biography of Eliot Ness, which comes out in February. Thanks, PW!

A quote from the review:

"With a shrewd mix of drama, insight, and objectivity, Perry artfully chronicles the life of the leader of the 'Untouchables' squad and illuminates his subject's complicated worldview, passions, and faults."

" 'Eliot Ness' is fast-paced and full of detail that's well-researched but not overbearing. Smart, authoritative, and bristling with challenges to the status quo: It has more than a little in common with its remarkable subject."

I had an enjoyable talk with Weekend Edition's Scott Simon about my new book, Eliot Ness: The Rise and Fall of an American Hero.
