She will discuss her book, A Killing in Capone’s Playground: The True Story of the Hunt for the Most Dangerous Man Alive, which explores the aftermath of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago and the manhunt for fugitive Fred Burke. Drawing on never before published police reports and new research, Lyon reveals how the influence of Al Capone spread into rural Michigan and Indiana during the Prohibition era.
