Rogues' Gallery by John Oller
In the early 1870s, an Irish cop named Thomas Byrnes developed new ways to catch criminals. Yet as policing became ever more specialised and efficient, crime itself began to change. Robberies became bolder and more elaborate, murders grew more ruthless and macabre, and the street gangs of old transformed into hierarchal criminal enterprises, giving birth to organised crime, including the Mafia.John Oller is a retired white-shoe Wall Street lawyer who worked for Willkie Farr & Gallagher, one of New York City's most venerable legal firms, for thirty years as an associate and then a partner. His publications include The Swamp Fox: How Francis Marion Saved the American Revolution and American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague--Civil War Beauty of the North and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal. He is a Manhattan resident.
