Gus and Georgette Winkler's love story begins and ends on St. Valentine's Day, but it's the one in Chicago on February 14, 1929, that haunts them for the remainder of their lives.
Gus and his friends participate in many of the most notorious crimes and murders of the 1920s and 30s and eventually are responsible for bringing down famous gangsters like Verne Miller, Machine Gun Kelly, and the Barker-Karpis Gang.
This fact-based love story comes to us from Georgette's memoir of the exploits of Al Capone's hit men, whom he called his "American Boys." After fifty years, Georgette's manuscript was found in the FBI Reading Room in Washington D.C. It reveals the truth behind the legends-and provides the history behind this story.
