Sorry no one could help you. I've nevr found any books on the Dutchman. I like his story, he was a crazy man. You seen his eyes in real life. He looks quite normal but you can tell he's got some menacing in him. All the information i've gathered about Flegenheimer has been from CrimeLibrary.com. I can't praise this site enough. And Also from the Biography channel uk.

If you're not satisfied with any non-fiction that you find on Schultz, you could try E.L. Doctorow's novel, "Billy Bathgate," which contains many factual threads. This was an ok (not great) movie, too--enlivened by a superb performance by Dustin Hoffman as Schultz.

Yeah, the Dustin's performance is good, as usual, but the movie stay bad anyway...

The thing who gets me mad, it's the fictionnal caracter of Billy Bathgate... and Lucky Luciano who's handsome, beautiful and all... that's so fake to me...

They're should make another movie on this lucky's capo, really...

Theres also a movie called Hoodlum starring Laurence Fishburne, Andy Garcia as Lucky Luciano, and Tim Roth as Dutch Schult. I saw this awhile ago, it was a decent movie. Garcia did a great job, as did Roth and Fishburne.

That movie was pretty good. It took a couple times watching it for me to like it. If that makes any sense
