New book examines murder of Arizona journalist Don Bolles

More from this show

A new book has been written and is expected to be released soon, about the slain investigative journalist, Don Bolles. Bolles wrote for The Arizona Republic for years until he was murdered by a car bomb in 1976.

Throughout his fourteen years as one of Arizona’s top reporters, Bolles took on corrupt politicians, land fraud kingpins and the Mafia.

“Murder in the Fourth Estate: The Assassination of Investigative Journalist Don Bolles” is the first definitive account of the case, as it remains the most infamous assassination of a journalist in American history.

Jeremy Duda, journalist and author of “Murder in the Fourth Estate: The Assassination of Investigative Journalist Don Bolles,” joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the book.
