In 1933, George "Machine Gun" Kelly kidnaps an Oklahoma oilman for the ransom. It was supposed to be simple – get the money, lose the oilman, and get away. But the situation gets complicated: two partners cut themselves in on the action, a Texas Ranger starts tracking him, and his wife plays both ends against the middle. "[Hill] recounts the story of the bungling kidnapper with a homespun delivery... an entertaining and educational listen."—Publishers Weekly
