A.C. Greene was an author, historian, and journalist for the Dallas Morning News. His engaging narrative reflects extensive research into a true crime. On December 23, 1927, three men follow Santa Claus into the First National Bank in Cisco, Texas. One man walks up to the teller and says, "Stick 'em up!" These simple words set off a violent chain of events, causing the deaths of six men and the largest manhunt in Texas history.
