The Great Depression was marked by an epidemic of bank robberies and Tommy-gun-toting outlaws who became household names. Hunting them down was the new U.S. Division of Investigationβsoon to become the FBIβwhich was determined to nab the most dangerous gangster this country has ever produced: Baby Face Nelson. To stop him, the Bureau recruited talented gunman Charles Swagger, World War I hero and sheriff of Polk County, Arkansas.
Eighty years later, Charlesβs grandson Bob Lee Swagger uncovers a strongbox containing an array of memorabilia dating back to 1934βa federal lawmanβs badge, a .45 automatic preserved in cosmoline, a mysterious gun part, and a cryptic diagramβall belonging to Charles Swagger. Bob becomes determined to find out what happened to his grandfatherβand why his own father never spoke of Charles. But as he investigates, Bob learns that someone is following himβand shares his obsession.
