About the Book

According to the FBI, public enemy number one John Dillinger was gunned down by agents at the Biograph Theatre in July, 1934. However Jay Robert Nash calls this report into question in this fascinating piece of investigative journalism. Nash asserts that it was Dillinger's doppelgänger rather than the man himself whose life was taken in Chicago. Full of colorful characters and rich descriptions, this book is an essential for any true crime buff, whether you agree with Nash's theory or not.

Review :
One of the most remarkable jobs of investigative reporting we are likely to see in our time. Fascinating evidence the FBI and the police were suckered into killing a doppleganger. An impressive gravamen against J. Edgar Hoover and his department. A good exposé of particular interest to the 1920s and 1930s crime enthusiast. Mr. Nash is a journalist with an eye for intrigue. He turns up a sublime conspiracy.
