The bone-chilling breeze off Lake Michigan carries unnerving whispers of days gone by.
Sinister Chicago chronicles the unknown, unusual, or otherwise unexplained events that have occurred in Chicago's short history. Author Kali Joy Cramer uncovers the sinister foundations of Chicago's urban legends and unravels the facts around its most notorious murder cases. She looks below the superficial stories of Chicago's most infamous characters and chronicles the tragic accidents that left their mark on the city.
An excellent history of Chicago's dark side: serial killers, gangs and mob bosses. I wish the final chapter had gone longer regarding the city's current problem of black street gangs and young black men murdering each other over gang territory.
