A Utah True Crime Investigation of Mark Hofmann, Historic Forgeries, and the Salt Lake City Bombings

In October 1985, Salt Lake City was paralyzed by a series of deadly pipe bombings that killed businessman Steve Christensen and local mother Kathy Sheets. A third bomb severely injured Mark Hofmann, a renowned dealer of rare historical documents who had built a lucrative career unearthing controversial texts regarding the foundational history of the Mormon Church.

As police and federal investigators dismantled the crime scenes, they uncovered a massive criminal enterprise. Hofmann was exposed as a master forger who fabricated the infamous "White Salamander Letter" and murdered his clients to conceal his fraud and buy time to forge the legendary "Oath of a Freeman."

Why You’ll Love This Book

Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith deliver a comprehensive investigative account of fraud, religious history, and forensic document analysis. A landmark true crime narrative, this book appeals to fans of Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven and complex financial crime journalism.
