Overview

When America outlawed liquor, one man turned the law into his liquor license. October 6, 1927 - a quiet park in Cincinnati. A black car stops. A gunshot echoes through the autumn air. Inside that car was George Remus - once a respected lawyer, later crowned the ""King of the Bootleggers."" His victim? The woman he once called his queen. The Remus Gang: How a Lawyer Broke the Law and Built an Empire of Booze is the shocking true story of how a man of reason became America's most dangerous contradiction. Told in vivid, narrative nonfiction style, it plunges you into the roaring heart of Prohibition - where every saint was drunk on something and morality was just another business expense. Few people know that Remus wasn't just a bootlegger - he designed the perfect crime. With a lawyer's mind and a gambler's soul, he exploited America's dry laws to build a billion-dollar empire, buying off judges, agents, and senators while throwing champagne-soaked parties that made Gatsby look sober. But when love turned to betrayal - and the federal agent sent to arrest him fell into bed with his wife - Remus's empire began to rot from within. What followed was obsession, madness, and one of the most unbelievable courtroom dramas in U.S. history. What you're about to discover will change how you see crime, justice, and the fine print of the American Dream. It's not just a story about whiskey - it's about how far a man will go when the nation itself has lost its conscience. If you love Killers of the Flower Moon, The Devil in the White City, or Boardwalk Empire, this book will grip you from the first gunshot to the last toast. Why this book matters: Because history doesn't repeat - it just sobers up, then orders another round. Ready to uncover the true story of America's Bourbon King? Get your copy of The Remus Gang today - and step inside the empire that out drank Prohibition.
