As one Jazz Age journalist put it, "Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil." Author Bob Batchelor breathes life into the largest illegal booze operation in America ~ greater than that of Al Capone ~ and a man considered the best criminal defense lawyer of his era. Remus bought an empire of distilleries on Kentucky's "Bourbon Trail" and used his other profession, as a pharmacist, to profit off legal loopholes. He spent millions bribing officials in the Harding Administration, and he created a roaring lifestyle that epitomized the Jazz Age over which he ruled. That is, before he came crashing down in one of the most sensational murder cases in American history: a cheating wife, the G~man who seduced her and put Remus in jail, and the plunder of a Bourbon Empire. Remus murdered his wife in cold~blood and then shocked a nation, winning his freedom based on a condition he invented~temporary maniacal insanity.
