Since my debut crime novel The Pike Boys is available for preorder, I’m gonna start sharing my fave moments and figures from crime history! Today I’d like to talk about Stephanie “Madam Queenie” St. Clair. The Black woman who took on the mob and won.

An old photo of a black woman in the 1920s. She was either a teen or in her early 20s at the time. She’s wearing a turban and coat with fur around the neck line.
