Award-winning writer Douglas Perry not only chronicles Eliot Ness's legendary pursuit of Al Capone, but continues the largely unknown story of Ness's time as Public Safety Director in Cleveland, where he achieved some of the greatest successes of his career, including rooting out corruption in the police department and taking on the Mob, and instituting what is today considered textbook policing.
And, yes, Perry writes about Ness's time in Coudersport, where he died at the age of 57.
