[close] From R. Barri Flowers, award-winning criminologist and bestselling author of Murder at the Pencil Factory and Murder of the Banker's Daughter comes the powerful historical true crime short, Murder During the Chicago World's Fair: The Killing of Little Emma Werner. On Tuesday, May 9, 1893, seven-year-old Emma Werner was the victim of a brutal and lethal attack in Chicago, Illinois. The dreadful murder came at the start of the city's much ballyhooed 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. It coincided with the heinous crimes of ruthless serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett, who built a hotel called the World's Fair Hotel to house and profit from the Fair visitors needing a place to stay. The hotel was a death trap for unsuspecting, mostly female, guests and employees alike. Emma’s killer was twenty-one-year-old George Craig, who worked as a painter at the World's Fair. By the time the Fair was over, the mayor of Chicago, Carter Harrison, would be assassinated

[close] Here's the first review for my new book, MAFIA SPIES, a starred review from Booklist that says it is "enormously fun... succeeds brilliantly." By way of introduction, my name is Thomas Maier, a Newsday investigative reporter and author of several books, including most recently WHEN LIONS ROAR: The Churchills and the Kennedys for Crown. My 2009 book, MASTERS OF SEX, became an award-winning Showtime series. This new book, MAFIA SPIES, is a non-fiction thriller about two gangsters hired by the CIA to kill Castro and is being developed by Warner Bros. Despite it brassy title, MAFIA SPIES is a serious nonfiction book about America’s first attempt at state-sanctioned political assassination -- the CIA-acknowledged attempt to kill Castro with the help of mobsters Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli, the book's two main protagonists. It takes advantage of recently released National Archives files, which I wrote about in Politico last year. But at its non-fiction heart, MAFIA SPIE
