No! Should I? What is it about?

I read the Krakauer book “Under the Banner of Heaven” a while ago, and a few people here recommended some other books that sounded interesting.

Excellent book. Nonfiction. I had no clue - in the early 1980’s Salt Lake City was known (briefly) as the Beirut of America or something to that effect. Long story short: guy trades in rare documents. Gets into borrowing from peter to pay paul, that kind of thing. Mormon Church buys doc’s from him knowing they may be fake, but if not fake, the doc’s will be bad for the religion. Car bombs going off, people getting murdered. Insane.
