Introducing: Crook County

Hi, Hit Man listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at TenderfootTV and iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Crook County. CROOK COUNTY is the shocking true-crime podcast from iHeart and TenderfootTV about my father's alleged rise through the ranks of the legendary organized crime syndicate, the Chicago Outfit. From whorehouse doorman at the age of 17, to ruthless assassin in his 20's, and the many years that followed cleaning up the messes of the mafia and crooked cops alike as a firefighter/paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. To finally, moving to the suburbs with his new wife and kids and trying desperately to put it all behind him.  We explore in great depth and detail my father’s life of crime and its profound and lasting impact on my family to this very day.

In 1983, Paladin Press, a fringe publisher, released a book called Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. The author, who went by the pen name Rex Feral, offered very specific tips for the aspiring contract killer— where to find employment, how much to charge...and how to get away with murder. Ten years later, Tiffani Horn’s mother, 8-year-old brother, and a close family friend were found murdered. The exhaustive investigation involved multi-state surveillance and wiretaps, but it wasn’t until detectives stumbled upon Hit Man that they suddenly had what they called a blueprint for the murders. Hosted by journalist Jasmyn Morris.
