#1771 - Mark Harris
Manage episode 481287906 series 2659506
Mark Harris is the author of "Houses of the Holy: A Nightmare Web of Hate, Crime, Corruption and Child Abuse" which is about a riveting true story of survival, perseverance, and a fight for justice that cuts to the heart of corruption. In this deeply unsettling exposé, Mark Harris pulls back the curtain on a powerful nexus where the federal government, state officials, far-right extremists, religious leaders, the mob, and the secretive world of Freemasonry converge in unholy alliances. This unprecedented journey reveals the depths of influence wielded by money and religion over politics and law enforcement, exposing the legacy of hate and corruption entwined within. Harris introduces a cast of larger-than-life characters, each as bizarre as they are terrifying: a convicted criminal with immunity from the law, a mobster’s son linked to crime boss Santo Trafficante Jr., George W. Bush’s former attorney, a doctor who handpicked the first astronauts, and a lineup of religious figures willing to overlook any sin to shield a monster.
