American demon : Eliot Ness and the hunt for… par Daniel Stashower
Ostensibly the story of Ness pursuing Cleveland’s torso killer, but more the story of his time as public safety officer which just happens to coincide with a number of possibly interconnected beheadings. Of course, that’s just an opinion. It is well written, will hold your interest and leave you to decide for yourself
An interesting look at Poe's life through the medium of one particular piece
American Demon is a well written true crime drama about a good cop and his most frustrating case.
American Demon more about Eliot Ness than the Torso Killer. It's about his devotion to Public Safety rather than his image. It's also about Ness as a person with major flaws.

He went up against an entrenched system and found out twice that sometimes the best way to accomplish a task is to compromise and make peace with "that's good enough".

300 pages, of which 35% speaks of Ness's days going after Capone in Chicago, and not addressing the main topic of the book. If I wanted to read about that story, I would have bought a different book.
