The Ghosts of Eden Park: The Bootleg King, The Women Who Pursued Him, and the Murder that Shocked Jazz-Age America by Karen Abbott

In the early days of Prohibition, George Remus quits practicing law and starts trafficking whiskey. Within two years he's a multi-millionaire, hosting Gatsby-esque parties with his glamorous wife, Imogene. Pioneering FBI prosecutor Mabel Walker Willebrandt is determined to bring him down. Combining deep historical research with novelistic flair, The Ghosts of Eden Park is the unforgettable, stranger-than-fiction story of a rags-to-riches entrepreneur and a long-forgotten heroine, of the excesses and absurdities of the Jazz Age, and of the infinite human capacity to deceive.
