Dr. Wayne Johnson will be in Winnetka, Illinois tonight at 7:00 pm at The Book Stall to speak about his book on Chicago Mob murders:
From Chicago's original gangsters to the Outfit's decline in recent years, Dr. Wayne Johnson is well-versed in the organized crime that long ensnared the city. After 25 years with the Chicago Police Department - his last assignment supervising a unit within the Organized Crime Division - Johnson was appointed Chief Investigator for the renowned Chicago Crime Commission.Does Eric Holder remember when Wayne Johnson was working against the Eric Holder- Rod Blagojevich- Tony Rezko- Chicago Mob push for a Mafia run casino in Rosemont , Illinois? When did Eric Holder learn he was working for the Chicago Mob, because when you "accept" this kind of "assignment" from Rod Blagojevich that makes you an associate of organized crime? Here's a link to the book.
Now coordinator of Harper College's law enforcement programs and widely considered a top authority on organized crime, Johnson has written A History of Violence: An Encyclopedia of 1,400 Chicago Mob Murders. The 300-plus page tome is the product of painstaking research into newspaper articles, police reports, coroners' reports and other archives over a 14-year period.
This event is free and open to the public.
