Description
Breaking Blue by Timothy Egan In 1935, the Spokane police engaged in widespread corruption and crime, including murder. This dark history was suppressed until 1989, when former logger Tony Bamonte uncovered a mysterious deathbed confession that sparked an investigation into institutional corruption and cover-up. Bamonte's pursuit of truth led to a shocking case involving the unsolved murder of Town Marshall George Conff. With many of those involved still alive, it was imperative that Bamonte unravel this mystery. The result is a gripping account of Depression-era Spokane and a remarkable case that few believed would ever be brought to light. This book vividly documents an extraordinary era of institutional corruption and cover-up, shedding new light on a dark chapter in American history.
