  Brings to life a world of great wealth and poverty, of Prohibition and class conflict. Celia Cooney launched the largest manhunt in New York City's history, humiliating the police with daring crimes and taunting notes. Sifting through conflicting accounts, the authors show how Celia's story was used to explain the world.
