Goewey details the exploits of the Shopping Bag Gang heists of the 1930’s. He segues into Patches Waters and Whitey Riordan’s capture and journey to Sing Sing. The late 1930’s saw this well-known prison’s growing notoriety for riots and breakouts.
Goewey pieces together how Patches hatched his daring escape plan and eventually got Whitey on board. On Easter, 1941 they launched the most sensational breakout in Sing Sing history.
Both well researched and well written this is a definite recommend for the true crime, history or other nonfiction enthusiast.
