A GATHERING OF SAINTS A True Story of Money, Murder and Deceit.

Hardback. 1st US edn. A tale of murder and a scheme to topple a vast religious empire. The author takes the reader inside the powerful hierarchy of the Mormon faith, where history is sacred, faith is never meant to be questioned, and spies are common place. The story begins with mysterious explosions claiming the lives of Kathy Sheets, wife of a prosperous Mormon business man and Steven Chistensen, her husband's former business partner. The next day, a 3rd bomb detonates, leaving Mark Hoffmann, an eccentric document dealer, gravely injured. Could his "accident" and the 2 previous murders be related to Hoffmann's uncanny series of recent discoveries - documents that throw the very foundations of the Mormon church into question? Or does the answer lie in the financial collapse of Coordinated Financial Services, where Salt Lake City's richest investers find effective ways to lower their tax payments? Illus., Index. 397pp. lge. 8vo. Small biro marks to fep, o/w Nr. F. in Vg+ protected pcdw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage if shipped overseas.
