Prophet's prey : my seven-year investigation into… by Sam Brower
Compelling story but a little hard-boiled for my taste. Good on Mr. Brower for doing what he does to stop the FLDS, though. I'd recommend "Under the Banner of Heaven", however, for an introduction to this subject.

So frightfully horrible. Even once the government got involved... or didn't. Sad to hear what one person or small inner group of "leaders" can do to a whole community. This is a must read for my local friends. Even harder was the fact that it was on the front page of the trib today. http://www.sltrib.com/news/3133193-155/meet-lyle-jeffs-the-man-who
