Philadelphia's Golden Age of Crime was unlike anything you've ever seen before. Between 1882 and 1922 over a million poor immigrants settled in Philly and many of them turned to the streets as a means for survival. This began a rash of gangs--Italian, Irish, Jewish, Black--that sold everything from booze and drugs to stolen goods. protection, sex and games of chance. It was hard to tell the good guys from the bad because political and police corruption ran rampant for almost 100 years. Author Fred Lavner takes you back for all the incredible details and a meet up with all the infamous characters.
