Payoffs in the Cloakroom is a spellbinding followup to Rubenstein and Ziewaczs 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.Making use of actual court proceeding, personal interviews, and newspaper accounts, and even a reevaluation of police evidence, Rubenstein and Ziewacz tell a story that contains all the ingredients of firstclass detective fictiononly in this instance, the story is based on fact. With chapter titles such as Charlie and His Little Black Book, I Never Dreamed Murder, and Them Bones, Them Bones, the authors have, once again, provided a stimulating and absorbing account of one of the darker chapters of Michigans political history.

I got this book thinking it would be more about the people involved in Michigan's legislature, but it focuses more on the transactions and less on personal stories. It’s informative, but a bit dry. Shipping was slow too, took almost a week to arrive. A mixed bag for sure.

Interesting take on MI politics
I picked up 'Payoffs in the Cloakroom' for a class project on political history. It dives deep into the Michigan legislature from 1938-1946, and it's fascinating to see how things were handled back then. The narrative is engaging, though a little dense at times. Still, definitely worth a read if you're into political science!

Disappointing content and structure
Unfortunately, 'Payoffs in the Cloakroom' didn't meet my expectations. I found the writing style to be quite unengaging and the research seemed scattered. I had hoped for a more cohesive look at Michigan's history, but it just didn't deliver. I'm a bit bummed out since I was looking forward to this.
