A New York Times Bestseller
Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Winner in True Crime

Selected as one of "2016's Great Reads" by NPR
Finalist for the 2016 CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year
An unforgettable cauldron of history, crime, race, and sports

Now in paperback comes the critically acclaimed New York Times Bestseller about a championship city haunted by a wave of racist terror. Detroit, mid-1930s was abuzz over its unrivaled sports success when gun-loving baseball fan Dayton Dean became ensnared in the nefarious Black Legion. The secretive, Klan-like group murdered enemies, flogged associates, and planned armed rebellion. The Legion boasted tens of thousands of members across the Midwest, among them politicians and prominent citizens-even, possibly, a beloved athlete. Award-winning author Tom Stanton has written a stunning tale of history, crime, and sports.

"[A] head-turning tale of the generally forgotten Black Legion terrorist group and Detroit in the 1930s." -US News & World Report
