Among the criminal celebrities of Prohibition-era Chicago, not even Al Capone was more notorious than two well-educated and highly intelligent Jewish boys from wealthy South Side families. In a meticulously planned murder scheme disguised as a kidnapping, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb chose fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks at random as their victim, abandoning his crumpled body in a culvert before his parents had a chance to respond to the ransom demand. Revealing secret testimony and raising questions that have gone unanswered for decades, Hal Higdon separates fact from myth as he unravels the crime, the investigation, and the trial, in which Leopold and Loeb were defended by the era's most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow. Higdon's razor sharp account of their chilling act, their celebrity, and their ultimate emergence as folk heroes resonates unnervingly in our own violent time.

From Hgidon: The book featured interviews with 27 leading drivers of the era: everyone from Richard Petty to Mario Andretti to Mark Donahue. Three were drag racers: Don Garlits, then the number one driver in the top fuel division; Don Prudhomme, who was equally dominant in funny cars; and Malcolm Garrett, a street racer from my home town of Michigan City, Indiana. Malcolm never achieved the level of drag racing fame as Garlits or Prudhomme, but years later, Malcolm switched sports, serving as corner man for heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. In each chapter of Finding the Groove, I asked the driver: "How do you go fast around a race track?" The book featured their answers. Some drivers understood their sport better than others, or at least had the ability to communicate their understanding better.
