Join us for a captivating evening with local author Billy Burton as he discusses his new historical novel—a gripping fictionalized account of Henderson’s infamous “Little Chicago” era (1930s–1950s). Step into a time when political corruption, illegal gambling, and organized crime ruled the streets, and follow a World War II veteran’s courageous fight to reclaim his hometown from decades of lawlessness.

The event will include an author talk, book sale, and signing. Don’t miss this chance to meet the author and explore a dark, fascinating chapter of local history.
