Robin G. Mercier's fascination with crime began as a child playing pinball on confiscated illegal gaming devices provided by his policeman uncle. His time on Chicago's south side gave him a glimpse into crime with a small "c," and later friendships with the children of reputed mobsters gave him a glimpse of crime with a capital "C," but it wasn't until his one-on-one meeting with Mayor Richard J.
