Abstract:

In 1933, Roger \"The Terrible\" Touhy was awaiting trial in Chicago when four of his associates went down South to raise money for his defense. The gang robbed a mail truck in Charlotte. What they didn't know was that Frank Littlejohn, the man J. Edgar Hoover called the \"finest detective in America,\" was chief of detectives. Summerville describes how Littlejohn and his men solved the crime and brought the four robbers to justice.
