The true story of the corrupt and violent town of Borger, Texas, in 1927―and the legendary Texas Ranger tasked with taming it.
Just a year after the town of Borger, Texas, was founded, the press called it "the wickedest in the state" for good reason. The town, sprung into existence overnight to support the oilfields, had become a lawless haven for bootleggers, pimps, and gamblers, run by a crooked city hall.
That environment attracts some of the most unsavory characters in prohibition America, including a gang of murderous bank robbers who head into Borger to spend their money on booze, gambling, and prostitutes. In the span of weeks, the gang kills three law enforcement officers, bringing the worst heat imaginable: legendary Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, who led the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. His arrival threatens to break even this hardest boomtown in America―if it doesn't kill him first.
What follows is one of the most thrilling and violent untold stories from the era of gangsters, lawmen, and vice. Author Joe Pappalardo brings to life a town previously lost in the haze of history.
