He reveals the story of the six millionaire businessmen, dubbed The Secret Six, who beat Al Capone at his own game, ending the gangster era as prohibition was repealed. Drawing from his book, Al Capone and the 1933 World’s Fair, author Hazelgrove will transport listeners to the day when Capone sealed his own fate, February 14, 1929, known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
