Washington, D.C. – November 25, 1929. The city was still reeling from the devastating stock market crash just a week prior, when a new shockwave hit the streets. The body of Thomas Scrivener, a former detective, was found with a bullet wound to the heart in an alley just off the main road. Scrivener’s final night was spent at a prize fight in Maryland, where he was seen in the company of none other than Detective Lieutenant Edward Kelly.
