A Death in Pilsen

Bibliography

As in the previous Snap Malek mysteries, microfilm of old newspapers was invaluable as a research tool. In this book, information about the era was gleaned specifically from microfilm files of the Chicago Tribune from the early months of 1946, the first postwar year. Following are other sources that were used:
