Puppetmaster:The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover, by Richard Hack (HC, 2004, $3)
Hero, America's greatest lawman, and bringer of justice, or criminal, ally of the Mafia, and secret homosexual? Was he one or the other, or was he both?

(My own example- a loud party in 1974, police called, shots fired, with partiers and lawmen of all sorts running around with guns out and helicopters zooming overhead.

At least that is what was whispered around the complex.)
