The Executions of Cook County, IL

If you are interested in capital punishment, this is the book for you. It contains the story of every execution in Cook County (which contains the city of Chicago). From the famous and infamous to the "unknowns" who killed in a fit of anger or during the commission of another crime, it's the story of how the rope and the electric chair were used in capital cases. Brilliantly written by one of the city's premier journalists.
