Paul Maccabee, a public relations professional with an avid interest in crime history, spent 13 years conducting the research that culminated in his book, John Dillinger Slept Here: A Crook's Tour of Crime and Corruption in St. Paul, 1920-1936, published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press in 1995. Prior to concentrating upon this book, Maccabee wrote investigative feature articles for a weekly entertainment newspaper, the Twin Cities Reader, for which he was awarded a Page One Award from the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists. Earlier investigations into the criminal side of the Twin Cities resulted in an article on Isadore Blumenfeld, aka Kid Cann, a Minneapolis racketeer, published in the November 1991 issue of Mpls. St. Paul.
