Sally Denton is an American investigative journalist and author whose work focuses on corruption, political power, and buried stories from the American West. She began her career as a newspaper reporter and went on to write ten books over three decades, starting with The Bluegrass Conspiracy (1990), which exposed a drug-trafficking ring with ties to law enforcement in Kentucky.
Denton’s later books have covered a wide range of American history. American Massacre (2003) re-examined the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah, while The Money and the Power (2001), co-written with Roger Morris, traced the relationship between organized crime and the growth of Las Vegas. Her most recent book, The Colony (2022), investigates a fundamentalist Mormon settlement in northern Mexico. Throughout her career, Denton has shown a willingness to dig into stories that others have avoided, and her research has drawn on government documents, interviews, and archival material.
