Saratoga Springs has long been known for its elegance and leisure, but beneath the surface lies a shadowy world of crime, corruption, and larger-than-life characters. Join Greg Veitch, former Chief of Police and local historian, for an evening exploring the darker side of the Spa City’s past.
Drawing from his acclaimed books All the Law in the World Won’t Stop Them and A Gangster’s Paradise, Veitch will share even more gripping tales from Saratoga’s notorious era. From cold-blooded murders and bootlegging operations to illegal gambling dens and fixed horse races, these true stories reveal how crime once thrived alongside high society.
With insider knowledge, historical insight, and a storyteller’s flair, Veitch brings to life the people and events that shaped Saratoga’s infamous reputation. This program is perfect for history buffs, true crime fans, and anyone curious about the untold stories lurking behind Saratoga’s glamorous façade.
