Dutch Schultz vs. Stephanie St. Clair: 40 Murders

One body every twenty-four hours. For forty days straight. The summer of nineteen thirty-five turned Harlem into a war zone. Stephanie St. Clair, the Queen of Numbers, refused to surrender her empire. Dutch Schultz, the Bronx Beer Baron, refused to accept no. Between them: forty murders. Maybe more. The NYPD stopped counting. This is the story of the fastest, bloodiest gang war in American history. The war that proved you can win every battle and still lose everything.
