From the Book Cover
"A FIRST-RATE TRUE CRIME THRILLER AND DETECTIVE STORY OF THE
HIGHTEST ORDER . . . THE KIND OF BOOK YOU GRAB EAGERLY AND CAN'T
PUT DOWN!" -- Detroit Free Press
On the morning of October 15, 1985, two bombs exploded in
different
parts of Salt Lake City, killing two people. The next day, a third
bomb blew the roof off a car belonging to Mark Hofmann, a highly
respected documents dealer, who survived the blast.
The only link between the three victims seemed to be their
membership in the Mormon Chruch. But investigators would soon
uncover another connection-one of the most elaborate and
destructive forgery scams of the twentieth century, rocking the
very foundation and legitimacy of the Mormon Church and its
multimillion-dollar empire.
This fascinating, shocking, true story draws on exclusive
interviews and secret, never-before-published documents to
reconstruct the most riveting tale of God and greed ever exposed.
It is and edge-of-the-seat thriller that will hold you in thrall.
