with Frank Hickey

Wed. April 23, 2:45-4 pm

You are a new lawyer, 23 years old in 1932. The Depression is ripping America apart. You cannot find work anywhere. The Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard are all reducing their ranks. On a freezing morning, you pull on your best Interview suit and trudge to the Post Office building in your farm town. By chance, you hear about the infant and political Bureau of

Investigation in the Department of Justice. The job of Special Agent has no gun and little power. But it pays $3200.00 per year. Without a weapon, the Bureau sends you out to arrest machine gun killers. If you need help, call the police.  What do you decide to do? This book tells that story, the story of "Real Cops."
