By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

Capone_coverCapone hoped to escape Chicago’s cold and windy winters, gangland retaliation wars, and incessant hounding by the law so he fled south to Miami. He longed for paradise where sunshine was a daily commodity, boating and fishing could be easily enjoyed along a sandy coast lapped by azure Atlantic waters, nightlige consisted of high class entertainment clubs and gambling houses, and relaxing by the pool was as close as stepping out your back door. And so Capone purchased a home on Miami Beach, spent time before and after his imprisonment, ran his illegal businesses, and entertained the famous and infamouse alike from his estate on Palm Island. It is there he also died. This book is about that time.
