John Cappas: Tall Money - Paperback

by John Louis Cappas (Author)

This is the story of the Chicago criminal legend, John Louis Cappas. To crime buffs, Tall Money is a hellacious and felonious Chicago epic. To younger readers, it's a cautionary and wild tale of drugs and treachery aimed at a generation steeped in bling, casual violence, materialism and coming-of-age incarceration. Tall Money is Risky Business gone terribly, terribly awry. "The soul I once thought John had lost is now seen in all of its human glory. The world of crime and punishment does not produce success stories with any regularity or certainty. I consider John Cappas to be a success story and I am now proud to say I know him well. The best part of my job is when the faith that is placed in another person proves to be justified. John has achieved in ways I never imagined and, I think, will do so even more in the future."
