Dream Room: Tales of the Dixie Mafia

by Chet Nicholson

Overview

Chet Nicholson's breakout true-crime book is a thrilling tale that takes the reader inside the infamous Dixie Mafia. The band of loosely organized criminals operated throughout the states of the old Confederacy. The more violent of their number robbed, burgled, extorted, and murdered throughout the South; while the kinder and gentler wing of the gang preferred gambling, liquor, and prostitution.

Editorial Reviews

"Fans of true crime or movies like Goodfellas will find this sordid epic hard to put down." - BlueInk Reviews (Starred Review)

"I am not aware of any other author, or investigator for that matter, who has been able to gain the complete confidence and cooperation of true Dixie Mafia insiders like Mike Gillich and Frances Arguelles Gillich...The stories they subsequently shared with Chet are authentic, and for the most part, not for the faint-hearted." - From the Foreword by Special Agent R. Keith Bell (Retired), Federal Bureau of Investigation

"As a judge, I read about crime on a daily basis, but this story captivated me, and I couldn't put it down!" - Oliver Diaz, Former Presiding Justice, Mississippi Supreme Court

"Dream Room is a supercharged book. It has guts, which means it has rhythm and motion, and that means it has energy. It's alive! Don't miss this ne." - Randall Radic for Alvah's Books
