Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of the political corruption that was rife in St. Louis, Missouri in the years leading up to 1902. At a time when the city had fallen into disrepair, its infrastructure crumbling and basic services failing, money earmarked for public improvement was being siphoned into the pockets of city officials. This book tells the story of Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk, a young lawyer who defied the criminal underworld and corrupt politicians of St. Louis to expose the depth of the corruption. Ultimately, with only circumstantial evidence, Folk forced confessions from the city's political and business elite, highlighting the dangers of unchecked power and the resilience of justice.
