Frank Wilson never set out to get Capone. He had none of the egotism of certain crime fighters operating in the twenties and thirties who specialized in ''crime busts'' and ''daring captures'' of wanted criminals. His full activity was given over to documents, details, and testimony which he painstakingly prepared to be used in a court of law to ensure that justice prevail in the midst of what appeared to be absolute corruption. This is a true story. Frank Wilson really lived. He never carried a gun. He armed himself instead with facts. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
