    About this ebook

    After a thousand pages and more sidetrips through the backwoods of Chicago than you can imagine, the story of the man standing on the corner with the crimson hatbox is completed. Finally we find out why the defendant, when asked by the archbishop what was in the box, replied "Wah Lee's skull. I cracked Vann’s pete." But not without some of the most incredible courtroom hijinks in the history of jurisprudence. And it's told as only Harry Stephen Keeler could tell it -- in four long books.

      You Only Need Two Bricks

      We sat in front of a blazing fire in the hearth of the tiny hunting cabin. The chimney drew well as long as the door was kept slightly open, like Lem Putt advised, to get the draft just right. We were sipping a most wonderfully aged 56-year-old Caber

      The Vintage Tipping Point

      The kid at the parts counter looked at me like I was a character from The Canterbury Tales when I told him that what I really wanted was: “...a good, old ACDelco PF-35 oil filter — not this PF-1218-imposter of a replacement. You know, back in the ’80

      I hate museum tours. Invariably stuffy, more often than not pompous and, perhaps most egregiously, infernally boring. And for every Paul Smart 750 SS, there’s a bunch of Cucciolos, which, unless you literally bathe in Ducati motor oil, is just anothe

      TELEVISION. WAY BACK IN THE 1950s AND 1960s, it was the little flickering black-and-white screen with its cutely rounded corners, that glossily veneered boxful of miracles, which had provided the source of my undoing: here were the very seeds of a su
