DeCamp published "The Franklin Cover-Up" through AWT Inc. in 1992, a year after King's federal conviction on embezzlement charges. A second edition appeared in 1996. The book argues that two grand juries' "carefully crafted hoax" findings were themselves the product of a cover-up, that genuine abuse had occurred, and that a network reaching to Washington D.C. had been protected. DeCamp represented both [[Paul Bonacci]] and [[Alisha Owen]] as their attorney, creating a conflict of interest that is relevant to evaluating his presentation of the evidence.[^2]
The book's factual core - King's embezzlement, the NCUA seizure, the state legislative investigation, and the grand jury proceedings - is grounded in documented primary sources. DeCamp's claims about a Washington D.C. network rely primarily on victim testimony, chiefly Bonacci's, and his own assertions. He names [[Craig Spence]] as a Washington nexus figure; Spence's existence, White House access, and escort service connections are independently documented in contemporaneous Washington Times and Washington Post reporting from June-November 1989, independent of DeCamp's work.[^2]

In the second edition (1996), DeCamp drew connections between the Franklin case and [[The Finders]], the Washington D.C. group whose CIA connections were documented in a 1987 U.S. Customs Service investigation. No documentary primary source establishes an operational link between the two cases. Nick Bryant's 2009 book "The Franklin Scandal" (Trine Day) opens with a prologue titled "The Finders of Lost Children" and similarly presents The Finders and Franklin as parallel structures, but also without a documented operational link in government records.[^3]
