The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. \"Larry\" King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful \u003ci\u003eOmaha World-Herald\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNineteen months later, the legislative committee's chief investigator died—suddenly, and violently, like more than a dozen other people linked to the Franklin case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor John DeCamp knows the Franklin scandal from the inside. In 1990, his \"DeCamp memo\" first publicly named the alleged high-ranking abusers. Today, he is attorney for two of the abuse victims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing documentation never before made public, DeCamp lays bare not only the crimes, but the cover-up—a textbook case of how dangerous the corruption of institutions of government, and the press, can be. In its sweep and in what it portends for the nation, the \u003ci\u003eFranklin cover-up\u003c\/i\u003e followed the ugly precedent of the Warren Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398033391852,"sku":"9780963215802","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25909323482530.jpg?v=1773737673"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/john-w-decamp.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
