"Adam 'Pump' Arnold was both feared and regaled in Victorian-era Battle Creek. He was a bootlegger and a pimp, a robber and a con artist, an arsonist and a loan shark and even an assassin. Arnold faced off with the city over illegal liquor sales and flaunted his victory with a life-size statue of the mayor dressed as a hobo. Called the 'greatest criminal in the history of Battle Creek, ' Arnold was convicted in a captivating public trial for the murder of his own son."--Book cover.
