Just finished a book my friend loaned me called The Mormon Murders based on the true events surround the forgeries and bombings of Mark Hofmann in the mid-'80s.
While there is a lot that is fictionalized (conversations and behind-closed door interactions, motives of those involved, etc.), whenever I came across a factual claim that could be verified I came up a winner. For instance, I didn't know that Bruce R McConkie wrote a book (Mormon Doctrine, first edition, which has been called the most influential LDS books of the 20th Century) in which he tells readers to consult the entry for "Church of the Devil" when he's talking about psychiatry which blew my mind with how much it reminded me of Scientology attitudes about psychiatry.
