The Gangland Sagas of Big Nose Serrano: Volume 2

The second volume (of 3) in the collected stories of pulpdom's most notorious Chicago gangster. In these four short novels from 1931-32, Big Nose plays the ponies; in two interconnected tales, he fights corruption in the Bloody Tenth Ward by running for assemblyman, and brings the same manic intensity to politics that he did to Tommy-gun warfare; in the fourth story, he struggles against a mysterious underworld nemesis, the Spider. Unique in pulp fiction.
