In all the tales of John Dillinger, the name Herbert Youngblood has been given short shrift or completely ignored. No more, the author D. Gordon Franks grew up in town where Youngblood met his demise. The author's family owned the bar and whorehouse where the shoot out occurred after several bank robberies. It culminated in the sheriff being wounded, the under-sheriff being killed and another deputy wounded, and a cousin of the author shot as well. Dillinger came upon the gun battle staged on his behalf.
Youngblood was wounded and taken to the hospital where he was tortured and castrated. This sprawling epic spans several decades including the '20s and '30s-'40s and '50s. If public enemies, bank-robbery, torture, murder, rape, voodoo, lynching, and prohibition bother you, don't bother with this book. America's fist public enemy breaks out of an escape proof jail, surrounded by the police and national guard without firing a single shot.
The young Black man responsible for carving the gun was and integral part and participant to the escape was in jail on a murder charge that was really self-defense. These two men shared a two-month long friendship that lasted beyond the grave.
They knew the secret of J. Edgar Hoover being gay. Find out what really happened at the slaying of Dillinger at the Biograph Theater in Chicago. What part did a future Nazi doctor at the death camps perform? This the story the FBI wants left untold.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and, in front of everybody, shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird.

Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy.

Couldn’t stop listening
This was a great story and great narration. When I wasn’t listening, I was thinking about what was going to happen next, how was he going to become rich and famous. The ending was bittersweet, great read.
