They were 10 daring and deadly men who transfixed a nation with their penchant for crime, bad women, good times, and lots of laughs. They were the Dillinger Gang. And at its heart was “Handsome Harry” Pierpont, an incredibly tough yet well-spoken natural leader who would eventually die in the electric chair.

From humble beginnings as a car thief and smalltime stick-up man, Harry worked his way up to bank robber—a career move that landed him in prison and introduced him to John Dillinger. When Dillinger was paroled, he provided the pistols Harry and nine other convicts used in one of the most renowned prison breaks in American history. Discovering his true blue pal had been captured, the ever-loyal Harry then broke Dilligner out, killing a high sheriff and sealing his fate.

Yet in the four months before they were finally apprehended, the Dillinger Gang lived uproariously, robbing banks rom Chicago to Tuscon. An exciting, animated story chock full of violence, sex, and humor, Handsome Harry brings to life a dangerous and exciting time and the outlaws who made it legend.
