Mystery
To the outside observer, Salt Lake City might seem to be the
squeaky-clean “City of Saints”—its nickname since Mormon
pioneers first arrived. Its wide roads, huge Mormon temple
topped by a horn-blowing angel, and orderly neighborhoods
give it the appearance of the ideal American city, but looks
can be deceiving. When a beautiful socialite turns up dead, Art Oveson, a
twenty-something husband, father, and devout Mormon just
getting his start as a sheriff’s deputy, finds himself
thrust into the role of detective. With his partner, a
foul-mouthed former strikebreaker, he begins to pursue the
murderer—or murderers. His search takes him into the
underbelly of Salt Lake City, a place rife with blackmail,
corruption, and death. Based on a true yet largely forgotten murder that once
captivated the nation but still remains unsolved eighty
years later, City of Saints reveals a darker picture of the
Mormon capital than you ever expected.
