Scarface (novel)

Scarface is a 1929 novel written by Armitage Trail. The 1932 film Scarface was based on it. The twenty-eight year-old author died suddenly of a heart attack in 1930.^[1]

Plot

The book's storyline is heavily inspired by the real life gangster Al Capone whose nickname was also "Scarface". It concerns the rise and fall of Tony "Scarface" Camonte, who after performing a hit on mob leader Al Springola, moves in to take over the illegal Alcohol business in Chicago during the Prohibition Era. He is ultimately shot dead by his brother (who concurrently rises in the ranks of Chicago PD), who fails to recognise him due to the family believing him to have died in World War I.
