- Synopsis
- As a kid from the slums he dedicated his life to crime, killing his first victim when he was still a teenager; but as a man he was as suave as he was brutal. He founded the swankiest joint of its time, the Cotton Club, where he hired Duke Ellington. He produced Mae West's Broadway shows and used his influence to give childhood friend George Raft his big break in Hollywood. His control of the fight racket gave Joe Louis a shot at the heavyweight title. This was crime's heyday, and Madden took full advantage, buying--and selling out--politicians as easily as he bought bathtub gin and prizefights. -Back Cover
