And though we may know names like John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, and Pretty Boy Floyd, few have heard of John Henry Seadlund, who J. Edgar Hoover termed \"the nation's cruelest criminal\" and Public Enemy #1.\u003cbr\u003e When Minnesota's iron mines shut down, Seadlund can't find work. After a chance encounter with a member of Dillinger's gang, he turns to crime. Several minor thefts escalate into multiple bank robberies in Minnesota and Wisconsin.\u003cbr\u003e Then, after a plot to abduct a baseball star at Wrigley Field fails, Seadlund kidnaps a 72-year-old millionaire businessman. Disturbing events soon bring J. Edgar Hoover to northern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin to investigate Seadlund's most atrocious crimes. Hoover then labels Seadlund as \"the most ruthless, cold-blooded killer\" he'd ever encountered.\u003cbr\u003e This fact-based, historical fiction novel will take you inside Seadlund's mind as he carries out crimes in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. You'll also share the viewpoint of skilled FBI agents determined to capture him and rescue his victim.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INFAMOUS comes from Bayfield County's award-winning author of historical fiction, James Brakken. Like his earlier true-life crime novel, Alias Ray Olson, it will keep you riveted from its disturbing first chapter right to the inevitable end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Of James Brakken's other writing, Publisher's Weekly Magazine and Amazon Books said, \"Difficult to put down. ... A great read,\" and \"the flow of words is like an old fashioned song.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee all James Brakken's books at BadgerValley.com.\u003cbr\u003e Award-winning, north country novels \u0026amp; short story collections.\u003cbr\u003e Badger Valley Publishing Cable, Wisconsin 715-798-3163\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53367420649837,"sku":"9780997624915","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/dy9GNjlsLy94eVQyZ1BsekdoMW9BZz09.webp?v=1779645350","url":"https:\/\/cleanfreaklab.myshopify.com\/products\/infamous-the-crimes-of-john-henry-seadlund-paperback","provider":"Clean Freak Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
