A Nevada True Crime Investigation of Legal Brothels, Arson, and Rural Political Corruption

In the late 1970s, outsider Walter Plankington opened "The Chicken Ranch," a legal brothel in Nye County, Nevada, directly challenging the local sex trade monopoly held by established operators and corrupt county officials. Plankington's business was met with firebombings, police harassment, and arson.

Investigative reporter Jeanie Kasindorf details the conflict across the Nevada desert, uncovering county law enforcement complicity, political bribery, and organized crime influence. The narrative tracks the state and federal investigations into arson plots, regulatory sabotage, and violence in rural Nevada.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Jeanie Kasindorf delivers a fascinating work of investigative journalism on the dark side of Nevada's legal vice industry. Featuring local politics and police corruption, this true crime volume is ideal for fans of Catherine Prendergast, Dominick Dunne, and Dennis Lehane.
