In the company of author Troy Taylor, pull off the trick of coming back alive from some of Chicago's most infamous "e;one-way rides."e; Meet the deadly womanizer Johann Hoch, who would propose to a woman within twenty minutes of meeting her and then poison her within a week. Follow "e;Terrible"e; Tommy O'Conner as he eluded the gallows for more than fifty years, until the city finally grew "e;tired of waiting"e; and dismantled them for the final time. Learn how even flower shops and cathedrals weren't safe from gangland violence, and relive the tragic fire at the Iroquois Theatre, where a "e;fireproof"e; curtain was made of cotton and did little to stop the blaze that killed more people than the Great Fire of 1871.
