Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven

The nonfiction book by Jon Krakauer focuses on the true story of the double murder of Brenda Lafferty and her daughter by Brenda's brothers-in-law Ron and Dan Lafferty. Subsequent investigations revealed that the Laffertys were believers of the LDS church and its numerous fundamentalist ideologies.

Jon Krakauer's book received widespread critical acclaim, with Charles Graeber of The Guardian listing it as one of his top 10 true crime books. The book also partly inspired a documentary about Mormonism, titled Prophet's Prey. Krakauer was involved in the film, apart from Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, who served as executive producers.
