Kansas City has a long history with organized crime and was steeped in illegal and corrupt activities including Mob connections to the political scene and the Teamsters Union.
Take an insider’s look into our connection to the mafia with our presenter Frank Hayde, a career law enforcement officer with Kansas City roots that stretch back to the 19th century. He’s the author of “Mafia Dreams” and “The Mafia and the Machine.”
Frank will have a few copies of his books available, if you'd like to purchase a copy for signing after the program.
