The best stories about the American West, writes New York Times bestselling author Stephen Singular, involve the clash of cultures. It often comes down to the most basic Who owns the past? Who has the right to artifacts lying beneath the earth undiscovered, but about to be found? Once found, where do they belong - in a private collection or a museum?”
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.
