In a region with a reputation for crooked lawmen, Bobby Medford is that rare exception: caught and convicted. He was dealt a fifteen year sentence in the federal prison system for conspiracy, extortion, money laundering, mail fraud and illegal gambling. But that's just part of his story. Bounty huntert, debt collector and addict, he left behind a trail strewn with guns, drugs, bodies and cash. Pure Bunkum offers a reporter's-eye view of the way public corruption proliferates, even when everyone knows what's going on, told by an award-winning journalist with an eye for the absurd.
