Rick Kogan talked with two authors about their books about criminals. Then they responded to questions from members of the audience.

Jeff Coen is the author of Family Secrets: The Case That Crippled the Chicago Mob (Chicago Review Press; April 1, 2009). Mr. Coen covered the trial of Frank Calabrese, Sr., leader of a Chicago crime syndicate whose son became an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Jason Kersten is the author of The Art of Making Money: The Story of a Master Counterfeiter (Gotham; June 11, 2009). The book tells what led Art Williams to crime, how he came to counterfeit the supposedly secure 1996 New Note, and what led to his downfall.

This 4 p.m. ET program from the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest was held on the Books and Media Stage in the Lake Room of University Center. close
