Houses of the Holy is a riveting true story of survival, perseverance, and a fight for justice that cuts to the heart of corruption. In this deeply unsettling exposé , Mark Harris pulls back the curtain on a powerful nexus where the federal government, state officials, far-right extremists, religious leaders, the mob, and the secretive world of Freemasonry converge in unholy alliances. This unprecedented journey reveals the depths of influence wielded by money and religion over politics and law enforcement, exposing the legacy of hate and corruption entwined within. Harris introduces a cast of larger-than-life characters, each as bizarre as they are terrifying: a convicted criminal with immunity from the law, a mobster''s son linked to crime boss Santo Trafficante Jr., George W. Bush''s former attorney, a doctor who handpicked the first astronauts, and a lineup of religious figures willing to overlook any sin to shield a monster. Alongside former Governor Rick Scott and future Acting U.S. Attorney Generals, these figures build a twisted tapestry that Harris courageously unravels, shedding light on the shocking, hidden power plays that sustain their authority.
