Terror in the City of Champions

Description

“Mid-1930s Detroit:  As the city basked in its unrivaled sports success, the nefarious Black Legion spread through the region’s underbelly.  The secretive, Klan-like group was murdering enemies, flogging associates, and planning armed rebellion–all while the city celebrated boxer Joe Louis and three world championship teams.  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 set at the confluence of hard luck, hope, victory, and violence.”
