Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders: With a New Afterword by Linda Sillitoe
Fascinating story of intrigue, law enforcement, old documents and church politics. This was a real page turner.

Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe
The story behind Mark Hoffman's Mormon forgeries and murders that he committed. An intriguing true story of how deception and fraud led to eventual murder. He had a talent that surpassed even the experts in his forgery skills, a technique that he had perfected and none could detect the fraud. He had all the appearances of an outstanding citizen in the community, attended church regularly, and was a devoted husband and father. Underneath it all lied a very different man who was callous and show more cold and was proud of his fraudulent skills and showed little remorse for the murders he committed. show less

Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe
Excellent account of the Mark Hoffman case in Utah. I was around SLC at the time. I visited the Deseret Gym's barbershop right after the car bombing near there.

Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe
I usually like these types of stories but I found this one a little dry and there were lots of names to memorize. But interesting overall.
