As a native Chicagoan, any history that enhances my understanding of the city, and specifically the unique neighborhoods that create the puzzle that is The Second City, is a wonderful journey. Abbott weaves a historical account with the personal narrative of Chicagos most infamous madams making it both compelling, and informative. Nice to have such an engrossing account of Chicago outside of the prohibition/Capone narratives the city is known for.
