About the author
WILLIAM J. HELMER is the author of five books on the American gangland era, including The Complete Public Enemy Almanac, The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and Baby Face Nelson.
Helmer earned a Bachelor of Journalism and an M.A. in History from the University of Texas at Austin, and served as a Senior Editor at Playboy in Chicago from 1969 to 1995.
When not writing, Helmer served in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1953 to 1961, reaching the rank of Radioman First Class. That grounding in disciplined record-keeping and research shapes his rigorously documented accounts of Depression-era crime.
William lived in Boerne, Texas.
