At the height of Prohibition, a man walked up to his wife in a Cincinnati park. He pulled a pearl-handled gun and pulled the trigger. She would die soon after. The murder of Imogene Remus by her husband George became a sensation because Geroge Remus was possibly the most successful bootlegger in American history. In Karen Abbott’s fantastic new look at the case, we meet George and Imogene and the betrayal that led to the day shots rang out in Eden Park.
