About the author

Stephen Singular is the author or co-author of 22 non-fiction books, many of them about high-profile criminal cases. He’s also written sports and business biographies and social commentary. Two of the books have been “New York Times” bestsellers.

His first book, Talked to Death, set the tone for his journalistic career. Published in 1987, it chronicled the assassination of a Denver Jewish talk show host, Alan Berg, by a group of neo-Nazis known as The Order. The book was nominated for a national award — the Edgar for true crime — and became the basis for the 1989 Oliver Stone film, “Talk Radio.” Talked to Death was translated into several languages and explored the timeless American themes of racism, class, violence, and religious intolerance.

Reviews

[Joseph Hanneman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fascinating look at men both famous and unknown who've made up the Knights of Columbus. Interesting biography on men like Vince Lombardi, Joyce Kilmer, the Mexican Martyrs and Connie Mack. A beautiful coffee-table volume. A great addition to any Catholic library.
