Legislature -- History -- 20th century; Michigan -- Politics and government -- 1837-1950; Payoffs in the Cloakroom is a spellbinding follow-up to Rubenstein and Ziewacz's critically acclaimed Three Bullets Sealed His Lips . Three Bullets brought to life new evidence on the 1945 murder of Michigan Senator Warren Hooper. Payoffs in the Cloakroom takes up where Three Bullets left off, unraveling a complex web of political corruption and dirty state politics. In the process, the authors demonstrate that Senator Hooper was murdered to prevent his grand jury testimony against republican boss Frank McKay, who was facing bribery charges. Bruce A. Rubenstein is Professor of History at University of Michigan-Flint. Lawrence Ziewacz was Professor at Michigan State University, in the WRAC and American Thought and Language departments. |
