The book concludes in 2021 with Beth McCann, Denver's first female district attorney.

Considerable research went into uncovering and compiling these true crime stories which can be shocking, sad, and even ridiculous.  Famous characters from Bat Masterson to Bob Dylan appear when they ran afoul of the law. Denver District Attorney's Office A History of Crime in the Mile High City (1869-2021) covers those topics as w
