In Windy City Mafia: The Chicago Outfit, retired detective and Gangland Wire podcast host Gary Jenkins dives into his extensive audio archives to bring readers some of the most captivating stories from over 300 episodes. Jenkins recounts notorious tales such as "Al Capone on the Golf Course" and "The Trial of Al Capone," revealing lesser-known details like Al Capone's golf games with Machine Gun Jack McGurn and Fred "Killer" Burke. The book also covers more recent figures in the Outfit, including Anthony "Joe Batters" Accardo's rise from Frank Nitti's enforcer to the boss of the Chicago Outfit. Jenkins vividly portrays chilling events, from the brutal murder of B-girl Estelle Carey to the Chicago Police Intelligence Unit's raid on an Outfit gambling den. Readers will also gain insight into the notorious Chicago Outfit's 26th Street Crew through Jenkins's interview with Frank Calabrese Jr., who famously testified against his father, Frank Calabrese Sr. In Chapter Seven, Jenkins delves into the life and career of Harry Aleman, one of the Outfit's most prolific killers.

Lots of great info about the Outfit with a number of very interesting stories I was completely unaware of. Clearly very well researched. Unfortunately the AI narration is just awful - pronouncing the same name differently from one instance to the next over and over, putting emphasis and pauses in the wrong spots, etc. Would have much preferred the author to have narrated this otherwise enjoyable book.

Great info, horrible AI narration

If you ever wondered what happened in Chicago after Capone this is the book. Absolutely brilliant. It explains the rise of Tony Accardo. Definitely worth a listen and the AI narrator is better than the Frank Sinatra impersonator I heard on another Outfit book. This author knows his stuff. Two thumbs up.

The woman’s electronic voice was very annoying. I’m sure there were other options. Really hard to be likable with many mistakes

The book and the facts that it contained were great but the A.I that was used to read was AWFUL. Would recommend reading it on your own, the performance was very distracting.
