Summary:  "On the night of May 4, 1889, Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin, a 43-year-old prominent Chicago physician, was bludgeoned to death. His attackers were allegedly members of the Clan-na-Gael, a secret organization working for Irish independence. His was the biggest funeral Chicago had seen since Lincoln's. Four thousand mourners proceeded down Michigan Avenue, followed by a crowd forty thousand strong, in a howl of protest at what commentators called one of the ghastliest and most curious crimes in civilized history. The dead man, Dr. P. H. Cronin, was a respected Irish physician, but his brutal murder uncovered a web of intrigue, secrecy, and corruption that stretched across the United States and far beyond. The story of Cronin's murder from the police investigation to the trial. Hotheaded journalists in pursuit of sensational crimes, a bungling police force riddled with informers and spies, and a secret revolutionary society determined to free Ireland but succeeding only in tearing itself apart. The story of a booming immigrant population clamoring for power at a time of unprecedented change. From backrooms to courtrooms, the complexities of Irish Chicago, bringing to life a rich cast of characters and tracing the spectacular rise and fall of the secret Irish American society Clan na Gael.
