TIMES, CRIMES, AND THE TENDERLOIN IN PRE-PROHIBITION TOLEDO by Doug Tracy brings to life the gritty history of Toledo’s notorious Tenderloin District, a seedy neighborhood populated by brothels, saloons, gambling dens, and street criminals. This true-crime collection of stories, inspired by the personal memoirs of Captain of Detectives Lewis B. Tracy, provides an intimate look at life in the heart of one of Toledo’s most infamous neighborhoods during the early 1900s.
