内容説明
In Chicago, Eliot Ness created “the Untouchables,” the fabled team of federal agents who finally put Al Capone behind bars. Now, in the fall of 1935, Ness has been moved to Cleveland to become the city’s director of public safety. But as Ness starts his new job, a grisly serial killer starts a career of his own. One by one, bodies are found, each one decapitated and dissected with a doctor’s skill and a madman’s bent. The police are baffled and the population is terrorized over the so-called “Torso Killer.” Though it’s not his turf, Ness is forced to take over the case, but the more energy he pours into the investigation, the more it takes over his life and even his untouchable reputation. Because in Cleveland, there is only one true untouchable: a killer who has the perfect hiding place and the perfect plan for destroying Eliot Ness.

Historical fiction ?
2010/7/28
形式:マスマーケット
My grandfather, George Matowitz, served as Chief of Police during Eliot Ness's tenure in Cleveland. In his excellent book ,In the Wake of the Butcher, local historian James Badal described my grandfather as follows; " Matowitz was a tough, highly competent professional who moved up the ranks and earned his appointment( as Chief of Police)through simple diligence and hard work; he remained in office until 1951, becoming one of the most respected chiefs in departmental history"
Ignoring the historical record, Mr. Bernhardt has seen fit to transform my grandfather in to a one dimensional caricature, and thereby does a grave injustice to the memory of an outstanding police officer.
This book merits no further discussion. Readers who are interested in the true story are encouraged to read James Badal's book referenced above. Badal is an exceptional writer who devoted years of effort and research to his account which is likely to remain the very best source on these crimes for many years to come.

The Cleveland Way
2009/3/30
形式:ハードカバー
Engagingly brisk thriller as Eliot Ness takes on a Depression-era madman on the loose in Cleveland where Ness now works as Safety Director. The book works as a whole, I wish there was a little more historical detail per the afterword as much of this is true. What period detail we do get is largely cliché back-stories of the people who find the victims, and that's largely filler. Otherwise, a good fast-paced tale.

Well Written 4 1//2 Stars
2009/1/19
形式:ハードカバー
After the mayor of Cleveland hires the services of Eliot Ness to clean up the city, Ness finds himself getting involved in the investigation of a brutal serial killer.
Bernhardt's excellent writing style and his research into this story makes for a very readable and eye opening thriller. I had no idea, and was surprised, with what happened to Ness after helping to put Al Capone away.
A credible biographical thriller from one of my favorite authors.
