A THRILLING MAGNUM OPUS ON AMERICA’S GREAT CRIME EPIC

A Mystery Writers of America “Grand Master”—author of the gangster classic Road to Perdition, long-time Dick Tracy writer, and multiple Shamus Award winner—teams with an acclaimed rising young historian, in this riveting, myth-shattering dual portrait of Al Capone, America’s most notorious gangster, and Eliot Ness, the legendary Prohibition agent whose extraordinary investigative work crippled his organization. Written with novelistic pacing and underpinned by groundbreaking research, Max Allan Collins and A. Brad Schwartz's Scarface and the Untouchable delivers—at last—the definitive account of the “Battle for Chicago,” the iconic struggle between the mythic yet real combatants who have captivated the world for 90 years.

This book was very clearly a labor of love and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The authors took a lot of care to research their material and present it in a way that was unique.

Great Storytelling and Historical Perspective

Way more historical detail than I was expecting. I only wish that Kevin Costner’s Untouchables was more historically accurate. A great listen!

Very detailed

Al Capone and Eliot Ness are both Synonymous with Prohibition and fight against Organized crime. This book is a parallel biography of these two men who both left their mark in the world. The writers do an excellent job of telling the real story, instead of the romanticized , if somewhat inaccurate portrayal of these two men from the 1987 movie, The Untouchables, with Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Sean Connery. My wife, who grew up in the South Side of Chicago, also found this book to be very interesting, as well.

Forever Intertwined in the Prohibition years.

Out of everything I’ve read about Capone, this takes the top prize. Excellent details about Capone and Ness.
