Excerpt:
Brooklyn-born Thomas McDade studied law and accounting at St. John's University and by 1934 had worked at a few law firms when, for reasons even his son isn't sure about, he wrote a letter to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, asking for a job.
Within a few months, on Nov. 27, 1934, the fedora-wearing 28-year-old was a "G-Man," gunning the engine of a souped-up Ford, while he and his FBI partner shot it out with "Public Enemy No. 1," Baby Face Nelson, during a wild chase in Barrington, Ill.
