Fine/Fine. Warmly inscribed by the authors on the title page: "For Hal Schindler - April 1988 Thanks for your encouragement and support - Linda Sillitoe - Allen D. Roberts." Three pipe bombs exploded in Salt Lake County in 1985, killing two people. Behind the murders lay a vast forgery scheme aimed at dozens of other victims, most prominently the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mark Hofmann, a master forger, went to prison for the murders. He had bilked the church, document dealers, and collectors of hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years while attempting to alter Mormon history. Drawing from thousands of pages of police reports, court documents, interviews, letters, and diaries, Linda Sillitoe and Allen D. Roberts unravel the disturbing secrets behind the century's most successful forger, Mark W. Hofmann. A con artist who confessed in plea bargaining to murder and fraud, Hofmann eluded exposure by leading American document authenticators, as well as FBI technicians, Library of Congress curators, historians, and polygraph experts.
