Bill Plunkett knows a thing or two about criminal investigations.
The former FBI special agent put those skills to use to investigate the death of FBI Special Agent Nelson B. Klein, who was killed in a shootout in Indiana in August 1935.
After scouring hundreds of news articles and FBI files, Plunkett published a book chronicling the life and death of Klein.
The book is called, “The G-man and the Diamond King: A True FBI Crime Story of the 1930s.”
The idea for the book came after Plunkett came across a Klein’s toppled gravestone.
The book chronicles how Klein’s life ended after a run-in with a suspect in a car-theft ring.
