In the early 1980's, the St. Louis Region was controlled by the Chicago "outfit" controlled by Joey (Doves) Aiuppa. Joey (Doves) controlled all of the labor locals and most of the trade unions. He had considerable clout within local and state government due to union financial support of local politicians. Joey (Doves) guys in charge in St. Louis (John Vitale and Tony Giordano) became sick and old and the young guns in the region saw a chance to take over the rackets in the region. A Syrian family (Leisure (Paul and Anthony) decided to bomb a few of the "outfit's guys. One good car bombing begets another. It was chaos on the streets of St. Louis. The author was a detective in the prestigious Intelligence Unit of the police department. His job was to investigate (spy on) the organized criminals. His first hand account of what transpired in the St. Louis gang war is true and indisputable. The book contains crime scene photos, true names, and an index. It is nonfiction true crime at its finest.

St. Louis was a city under siege during Prohibition. Seven different criminal gangs violently vied for control of the town's illegal enterprises. Although their names (the Green Ones, the Pillow Gang, the Russo Gang, Egan's Rats, the Hogan Gang, the Cuckoo Gang and the Shelton Gang) are familiar to many, their exploits have remained largely undocumented until now. Learn how an awkward gunshot wound gave the Pillow Gang its name, and read why Willie Russo's bizarre midnight interview with a reporter from the St. Louis Star involved an automatic pistol and a floating hunk of cheese. From daring bank robberies to cold-blooded betrayals, The Gangs of St. Louis chronicles a fierce yet juicy slice of the Gateway City's history that rivaled anything seen in New York or Chicago.
