G-Men Book Series

True Crime well researched historical accounts of G-Men of the thirties as the Bureau of Investigation evolved into J. Edgar Hoover's FBI...
‍

‍Former FBI Special Agent (SA) William E. Plunkett began his G-Men book research obsession in 2008 after learning about a G-Man killed in 1935. SA Nelson B. Klein lived in Kentucky, worked out of Cincinnati, Ohio, and died in Indiana. Thus, Klein is the first agent to lose his life due to adversarial action after the agency was named FBI. While remembered nationally, he had fallen off the radar locally, with his gravesite in Northern Kentucky in disrepair.

‍Plunkett assisted in the restoration and rededication of Klein’s gravesite in 2008, and then facilitated a plaque honoring Klein in the lobby of the Cincinnati FBI office in 2013.

The door was opened for Plunkett's obsession with the vital thirties era of the Bureau of Investigation transition to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) while researching Klein’s life and death.
