520    "A shocking massacre in 2019 sparks a probing 
       investigation into the strange, violent history of a 
       polygamist Mormon outpost in Mexico. A harmless, 
       unassuming caravan of women and children was ambushed by 
       masked gunmen in northern Mexico on November 4, 2019. In a
       massacre that produced international headlines, nine 
       people were killed and five others gravely injured. The 
       victims were members of the La Mora and LeBaron 
       communities-fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke 
       from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when polygamy 
       was outlawed. In The Colony, the best-selling 
       investigative journalist Sally Denton picks up where 
       initial reporting on the killings left off, and in the 
       process tells the violent history of the LeBaron clan and 
       their homestead, from the first polygamist emigration to 
       Mexico in the 1880s to the LeBarons' internal blood feud 
       in the 1970s to the family's recent alliance with the 
       NXIVM sex cult. Drawing on sources within Colonia LeBaron 
       itself, Denton creates a mesmerizing work of investigative
       journalism in the tradition of Under the Banner of Heaven 
       and Going Clear"--|cProvided by publisher.
