“They finally got me… Emprise…the Mafia…John Adamson. Find him.” 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 is the first definitive account of the case, which is the most infamous assassination of a journalist in American history.
