A 1971 Colorado killing and its aftermath
Set against Boulder’s 1970s counterculture, this concise true-crime account reconstructs the killing of Deputy Dawg, a member of the informal STP Family street community. It centers on his arrest by the Nederland town marshal, the fatal shooting on a remote mountain road, and the consequences that followed. With its focus on a specific case rather than a broad survey of crime, the book places police violence, marginalization, and accountability within the local history of Boulder County.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- True-crime readers interested in historical cases
- Readers interested in 1970s Colorado counterculture
- Those seeking accounts of police misconduct and its aftermath
