Reviews
"A compassionate appraisal of the tragedy that shattered the family of Adolph (Ad) Coors III, when the 44-year-old chairman of the board of the Colorado beer company died during a botched kidnapping . . . forensic details, like the use of fingerprint analysis and dental records, should please techno-wonks--as should the fact that the case was solved by identifying varieties of paper stock and models of typewriters." -- New York Times Book Review "In 1960 the kidnapping of "Ad" Coors III set off one of the biggest manhunts in American criminal history. Jett, a former corporate attorney, brings this sad chapter in the Coors family archives to vivid life here, complete with crackling dialogue and a colorful cast of real-life characters, including the kidnapper himself . . . a suspenseful true-crime narrative that reads like an edge-of-the-seat detective story." -- Booklist "Jett's amazing research and captivating narrative tell a remarkable Coors family story, occasionally whispered about during my time at Coors. An incredible and tragic story, brilliantly told." --Ralph Hargrow, former Chief Global People Officer, Molson Coors Brewing Company, Denver, CO, "Jett's amazing research and captivating narrative tell a remarkable Coors family story, occasionally whispered about during my time at Coors.

Synopsis
The Death of an Heir is Philip Jett's chilling true account of the Coors family's gilded American dream that turned into a nightmare when a meticulously plotted kidnapping went horribly wrong. In the 1950s and 60s, the Coors dynasty reigned over Golden, Colorado, seemingly invincible. When rumblings about labor unions threatened to destabilize the family's brewery, Adolph Coors, Jr., the septuagenarian president of the company, drew a hard line, refusing to budge. They had worked hard for what they had, and no one had a right to take it from them. What they'd soon realize was that they had more to lose than they could have imagined. On the morning of Tuesday, February 9, 1960, Adolph "Ad" Coors III, the 44-year-old CEO of the multimillion dollar Colorado beer empire, stepped into his car and headed for the brewery twelve miles away. At a bridge he stopped to help a man in a yellow Mercury sedan. On the back seat lay handcuffs and leg irons. The glove box held a ransom note ready to be mailed. His coat pocket shielded a loaded pistol. What happened next set off the largest U.S. manhunt since the Lindbergh kidnapping. State and local authorities, along with the FBI personally spearheaded by its director J. Edgar Hoover, burst into action attempting to locate Ad and his kidnapper. The dragnet spanned a continent. All the while, Ad's grief-stricken wife and children waited, tormented by the unrelenting silence. The Death of an Heir reveals the true story behind the tragic murder of Colorado's favorite son.

- e***n (390)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
