BenBella Books Presumed Guilty: Casey Anthony: The Inside Story
Book SynopsisNew York Times bestseller Presumed Guilty exposes shocking, never-before revealed, exclusive information from the trial of the century and the verdict that shocked the nation. When Caylee Anthony was reported missing in Orlando, Florida, in July 2008, the public spent the next three years following the investigation and the eventual trial of her mother, Casey Anthony. On July 5, 2011, the case that captured headlines worldwide exploded when, against all odds, defense attorney Jose Baez delivered one of the biggest legal upsets in American history: a not-guilty verdict. In this tell-all, Baez shares secrets the defense knew but has not disclosed to anyone until now and frankly reveals his experiences throughout the entire case--discovering the evidence, meeting Casey Anthony for the first time, being with George and Cindy Anthony day after day, leading defense strategy meetings, and spending weeks in the judge's chambers. Presumed Guilty shows how Baez, a struggling, high-school dropout, became one of the nation's most high-profile defense attorneys through his tireless efforts to seek justice for one of the country's most vilified murder suspects.Trade Review"An incredible read. Presumed Guilty and Helter Skelter are the two best true crime books of all time."Geraldo Rivera, Fox News"It's a fascinating story."Barbara Walters"Jose Baez is the most sought-after criminal defense attorney in the country."Los Angeles Times"Baez's courtroom strategy is stunning!"ABC News"Jose Baez is really the new Johnnie Cochran .

Right now, that person is Jose Baez."Sunny Hostin, In Session"The jury was faced with a very difficult task but probably made the right decision."John Grisham, bestselling author"Baez is one of the best lawyers in America."Fox News Latino

University of Illinois Press Organized Crime in Chicago
Book SynopsisExplaining Chicago's mix of crime, corruption, and politicsTrade Review"Lombardo argues persuasively that organized crime is not a foreign deviance implanted by will but rather a condition made possible by circumstances of the place. Recommended."--Choice "Organized Crime in Chicago offers readers a revealing glimpse into the larger-than-life personalities that inhabited the netherworld of crime, such as members of 'The 42,' a boys' gang organized in the 1930s by seventh graders."--The Historian "Lombardo recounts more than 100 years of the rise and decline of various criminal organizations, including the Syndicates, the Forty-Two Gang, and the Outfit, in this history explaining the role of organized crime in Chicago. Because Chicago crime is depicted in many popular books and movies, this history will find eager readers everywhere."--Booklist"Robert M. Lombardo's book deflates the theory that organized crime in the United States was imported from Italy, and he provides ample evidence to prove that organized crime in the city evolved from social structure, frontier immorality, and political corruption. Organized Crime in Chicago should be on the reading lists for true crime enthusiasts and students of Chicago history and criminal history."--American Historical Review

This is a book that needed to be written two generations ago, one that everyone needs to read today to make up for lost time in extricating Italian Americans from the shadow of the Mafia."--Journal of Illinois History"Lombardo recounts in fine and fascinating detail the dynamics of extortion in Chicago's immigrant Italian community, covering especially the 'hottest' years, 1907-12."--Italian American Review"Stimulating and informative.

Bilek, author of The First Vice Lord: Big Jim Colosimo and the Ladies of the Levee"A classic treatise on the social construction of crime, with dozens of colorful stories.
