Mormons, murder, forensic analysis, forgery, and an art heist are all wrapped up in this one gripping story. Harini tells the story of Mark Hoffman, an expert forger whose increasing ambitions and heightened schemes lead to the murders of two of his fellow Latter Day Saints members. What does this have to do with science? Mark Hoffman's M.O. was explosives and there is a surprising medical history behind dynamite.
