Author Tony Stewart presents the all new “Dillinger, The Hidden Truth - RELOADED!” This UPDATED VERSION about Public Enemies of the 1920’s and 1930’s includes a face-lift with a new Dillinger Print courtesy of Andy Thomas of Maze Creek Studio. These fascinating details on celebrity criminals from the early years to the end of the line include Al Capone, Bonnie & Clyde, the Barker-Karpis gang, Machine gun Kelly, Pretty Boy Floyd and America’s favorite at the time, John Dillinger.

Dillinger’s unlawful reputation would triumph and soar upward to become a giant in his trade far above all others, only to end fourteen short months later; his legacy would sketch to a halt after a tragic bloody end in a dark Chicago alley. The outlaw’s death would mark the FBI's first major victory and become the step¬ping stone to their success, which allowed the Bureau to flourish into the respected agency they have become today. During his career, Dillinger participated in three gangs and was involved in a string of bank robberies across the country. He successfully escaped several Police and FBI traps, broke out of two jails, raided three Police stations and helped to mastermind the biggest escape to date from the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City.

He was a clever criminal marked with originality, showmanship and style.

One of Dillinger’s greatest qualities was his amazing ability to remain cool and calm, no matter how hot a situation would become. Within months of his release from prison, Dillinger became a household name, as well as America's most desired outlaw. His unpredictable moves throughout his short-lived career, kept law officials confused like an old ford blinded by a gusty cloud of dust on a lonely dirt road. Whether it was at the State fair, a baseball game, a picture show, a family reunion or sitting in the Chicago Police Department reading a newspaper only a few feet away, Dillinger was always right there hiding in plain site. Police and law officials were outraged as the slippery bandit continued to outfox and outwit them at every turn.
