To the outside observer, Salt Lake City seems to be the squeaky-clean "City of Saints" - its nickname since Mormon pioneers first came. Its wide roads, huge Mormon temple topped by way of a horn-blowing angel, and orderly neighborhoods give it the appearance of the ideal American city. But appears can be deceiving. When beautiful socialite Helen Kent Pfalzgraf arises dead, Salt Lake County Deputy Artwork Oveson - a twenty-something husband, dad, and devout Mormon just getting his start - detects himself thrust into the role of detective. Along with his spouse, a foul-mouthed, vice-ridden ex - strikebreaker, he starts to follow Pfalzgraf's murderer - or murderers. Their search can take them into the dark underbelly of Salt Lake City, a place rife with blackmail, problem, and murder. Chuck in a cowardly sheriff seeking reelection, a prominent local medical doctor with a host of skeletons in his wardrobe, and swirling gossips of the affair between the murder victim and an elusive Hollywood star, and you've got City of Saints, a secret based on a true yet largely neglected murder that once captivated the nation but still remains unsolved eighty years later.
