“They finally got me… the mafia…Emprise…find John Adamson.” Investigative reporter Don Bolles used his final words to name the people he believed had set the car bomb that had left him dying in a hotel parking lot in midtown Phoenix.
In his fourteen years as one of Arizona’s top reporters, Bolles took on the Mafia, land fraud kingpins, and corrupt politicians. And someone wanted him silenced. Murder in the Fourth Estate: The Assassination of Investigative Journalist Don Bolles is the first definitive account of the case, which is the most infamous assassination of a journalist in American history. The murder broke an unwritten rule in the world of organized crime at the time: journalists were off-limits. Starting with the June 2, 1976 assassination, this book follows the murder investigation through innumerable twists and turns—mishaps, mistrials, overturned convictions, conspiracy theories, and political intrigue. Based on nearly a decade of research into the Bolles case, this book includes evidence from the attorney general’s voluminous case file and interviews with key participants.
