Synopsis

While researching a book on Depression-era outlaws, "Playboy" editor William J. Helmer stumbled upon a 600-page manuscript on John Dillinger. Written in the 1930s, by G. Russell Girardin but never published, "Dillinger: The Untold Story" is a remarkable contemporary account of Dillinger's life and crimes, based in part on information given to Girardin by the outlaw's lawyer, Louis Piquett, not long after Dillinger's death. Though a series of articles by Girardin and Piquett appeared in the "Hearst" newspapers at the time, the big book manuscript remained yellowing on the shelf for half a century, until Helmer met Girardin and agreed to help get it into print. Packed with illustrations and new information from FBI files and other sources, "Dillinger: The Untold Story" is an authentic slice of American history, and a feast for true crime buffs. This new paperback edition features a new Preface by crime historian Rick Mattix, and updates to the commentary by William J. Helmer.
