Denton did her research for "The Bluegrass Conspiracy," and her expertly written work is captivating. I always looked forward to reading it these past five weeks, because one really gets to know the characters due to Denton's meticulous attention to detail. What is this story about? It's about how corrupt institutions and "leaders" are if you care to look. Especially in 1970s and 1980s Kentucky. Drug smuggling, arms smuggling, flying a Cessna 404 into a Colombian jungle at night, crooked cops, bought-off-Dixie-mafia-like grifter politicians, murder, murder-for-hire, sex, greed, gambling, 1980s sartorial sensibilities (blue blazers and penny-loafers of course!), jumping out of the Cessna and landing in someone's driveway with 15 million bucks worth of cocaine on your broken person, elitist yet so garish Lexington, KY, and then the DEA, CIA, FBI, State Police, who is working for whom? Some good, some bad, what's going on?
I was entertained the whole time, and think Denton deserves an enormous amount of credit for bringing us the full account. I doubt if anyone else would have. She cared to investigate, she took the time to study all of this corruption and criminality, even when her own life was at risk. This one will make you very skeptical of all institutions, and realize that nothing is how it appears to be. Funny how the "conspiracy theorists" are the ones always trying to bring us documented actions carried out by rapacious men. If I were they, I would make sure all of us were drugged up on sports and social media too.
I read this on planes, in a hotel room, and at my residence. It was a wonderful reading experience and I highly recommend it. Each time I see the Kentucky Derby on TV now I will enjoy a nice chuckle, thanks to Denton!
