| 520 | |a As a federal prosecutor in Mississippi for over thirty years, the author worked with federal agents, lawyers, judges, and criminals of every stripe. In this book, he recounts amazing trials and bad guy antics from the darkly humorous to the needlessly tragic. In addition to bank robbers - generally the dumbest criminals - the author describes scam artists, hit men, protected witnesses, colorful informants, corrupt officials, bad guys with funny nicknames, over-the-top investigators, and those defendants who had a certain roguish charm. Several of these defendants and victims have since had entire books written about them: Dickie Scruggs, Emmett Till, Chicago gang leader Jeff Fort, and Paddy Mitchell, leader of the most successful bank robbery gang of the twentieth century. But the author delivers the inside stories that no one else can. He also recounts his scary experiences after 9/11, when he prosecuted terrorism cases. -- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
