SATAN'S CIRCUS
by Mike Dash
New York City Police lieutenant Charles Becker was executed in 1915, convicted of murdering a casino owner and suspected of a long career of extortion. While the evidence against Becker is overwhelming, many critics at the time protested, claiming that Becker was merely a pawn of the corrupt city government. Mike Dash, the author of "Tulipomania" and "Batavia's Graveyard," skillfully weighs the evidence against Becker, and along the way exposes the sordid side of New York's history.
