Boswell Book Company’s most recent newsletter is chock full of fantastic book events, some with a focus on Wisconsin, such as:
Gavin Schmitt Unearths a Deadly Story About Organized Crime in Milwaukee, Monday, October 24, 7 pm, at Boswell.
 An upright citizen kidnapped in public and dumped in a shallow grave. A police chief’s wife arrested for murder. A mobster kidnapped and threatened by the FBI. And an ongoing corruption probe looking at everyone from the lowest bookie all the way up to judges and prosecutors. What is going on in small town America? This is what happens when you are caught between a rock and a hard place, or the Milwaukee Mafia and the Chicago Outfit. In Shallow Grave: The Unsolved Crime that Shook the Midwest, the new book from Milwaukee Mafia author Gavin Schmitt, the Midwest’s two most powerful gangs are fighting over territory and no one is safe. Shallow Grave features a series of colorful characters and shines light on the gritty creatures who live under the rocks of even the most innocent of cities.Gavin Schmitt has been interviewed extensively for his expertise on organized crime. The author has researched Wisconsin’s darker history for decades and has been published in a variety of magazines. He’ll be at Boswell on Monday, October 24, 7 pm.
