The infamous political boss, Nucky Johnson, and his partner, the gangster Meyer Lansky, enlist an ex-boxer to take blackmail pictures of the only man who stands in the way of their scheme to form a national crime syndicate. Based on the true story of an historic meeting in Atlantic City when the American Mafia was born, this fast-paced tale involves bootleggers, gamblers, gun molls, flappers, IRA gunmen, and anti-Semitic sea captains.  J. EDGAR HOOVER was the Permanent Director of the FBI from 1924 until his death in 1972.   - Why did he deny the existence of organized crime in America?   - Why was 'comped' at racetracks from coast-to-coast throughout his life? - Why did gangsters offer him hospitality as their house guests throughout his life? - Why didn't he marry? (There is no evidence that he ever dated a woman.) Low Light tells an exciting, plausible story that explains these real historical mysteries."
