How She Destroyed The Mafia (True Story)

A woman walked into a Harlem police station in nineteen thirty-one. She had names. Dates. Dollar amounts. And she was about to burn the entire system to the ground. Dutch Schultz controlled New York. His operation stretched from the Bronx to Brooklyn. When he looked at Harlem's numbers racket, he saw easy money. What he found was Stephanie St. Clair. This is the true story of the most dangerous woman the mob ever faced. A story of newspaper wars, assassination attempts, and a telegram sent to a dying gangster that became legend. Based on court records, FBI files, and firsthand accounts from the era. Some dialogue has been reconstructed for dramatic effect while remaining faithful to documented events. 📚 Sources & Further Reading: → Madame Queen: Stephanie St. Clair and the Harlem Numbers Racket https://www.amazon.com/Madame-Queen-Stephanie-Harlem-Numbers/dp/1982171391 → FBI Vault — Dutch Schultz Files (FOIA Records) https://vault.fbi.gov → The Big Bankroll: The Life and Times of Arnold Rothstein https://www.amazon.com/Big-Bankroll-Times-Arnold-Rothstein/dp/0306806762 → Playing the Numbers: Gambling in Harlem (Shane White)
