"There is no way that John Russel could possibly be connected to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. He is, after all a successful investment counselor, the wealthy son of a respected doctor and researcher, a member of Detroit's elite. He is married to a beautiful, intelligent woman, Shelby, who is his guiding beacon and more than half of his emotional self, his strength after losing his parents in an automobile accident many years before. He has a home in Grosse Pointe, a nice car. Everything is good. John Russel's life is in order..."
"...until the FBI finds Jimmy Hoffa's body buried at his cottage, and John and Shelby Russel are drawn into circumstances as deep and dark as the hole where the decayed remains were unearthed. Shocked and in denial, the Russels can't believe what's happening. But, as they sort through the ransacked cabin, through John's father's medical journals and piles of old photographs, they discover a thread of ironic logic that weaves through two generations. They uncover the horrible truth behind his father's DNA research and the message that he has left behind; a legacy that could get John and Shelby killed. Their quest thrusts them into a deadly struggle between two Mafia families and reveals a 20-year old conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelon of the Teamster's Union, the command of the FBI itself, and ultimately reveals the secret of the Hoffa disappearance.

A battery of police and sheriff's deputies converged on a home in Essexville in Bay County Wednesday in hopes of digging for evidence that could solve the 28-year old mystery of what happened to former Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa.
``We have some information that's come to us from a prisoner that's related to Hoffa case,'' Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said from the backyard of the home in a residential area. He said the prisoner provided the information in the past few days.
``We're skeptical, but feel we need to check it out,'' Bouchard said Wednesday. ``This person has provided information on other cases that's been found to be credible.''
Hoffa, 62, disappeared July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township. The FBI said Hoffa went there to meet with Detroit Mafia figure Anthony Giacalone and Anthony Provenzano, a New Jersey Teamsters official with mob connections.
Hoffa and Provenzano had feuded since serving time together in the 1960s in a federal prison in Pennsylvania, and Giacalone set up the meeting ostensibly to make peace, FBI records say.
But the FBI thought Giacalone lured Hoffa to the meeting so Provenzano's henchmen could kill Hoffa to prevent him from regaining the Teamsters presidency and shutting off the Mafia's access to union pension funds. Hoffa's body has never been found. Giacalone and Provenzano have since died.
Over the years, the FBI and other law enforcement officials have received numerous tips that resulted in searches and digs for Hoffa's body - to no avail. No one has ever been charged in Hoffa's disappearance.

This is series.
The evidence recovered may help us eventually determine who hired Craig Livingstone.
If this is true, no more "spiking the ball on Jimmy" jokes when the Pack plays the Giants.
