Drawing on recently released secret files, an astonishing look at the extent to which Frank Sinatra's life and career were inextricably linked with the Mafia, and how a number of innocent people died, simply because they knew Sinatra, or had upset him.
The Night Bobby Kennedy Murdered Marilyn Monroe tells the essential truth of the death of Marilyn Monroe at the hand of Robert Kennedy, Attorney General of the United States. Drawing on unseen police files, Marilyn Monroe’s private diary, and first-hand testimony, this book proves that Robert Kennedy was directly responsible for her death. It details Marilyn Monroe’s tumultuous personal involvement with him and his brother, President John Kennedy. The new evidence and testimony is provided by Mike Rothmiller who, as an agent of the Organized Crime Intelligence Division (OCID) of the LAPD, had direct personal access to hundreds of secret files on exactly what happened at Marilyn Monroe’s Californian home on August 5, 1962. With his training and specialist knowledge, Rothmiller used that unseen information to get to the heart of the matter, to the people who were there the night Marilyn Monroe died—two of whom played major roles in the cover-up—and the wider conspiracy to protect the Kennedys at all costs. There will be those with doubts, but to them, the lawman—who has advised the White House, the Pentagon, and international crime agencies—says the printed, forensic, and oral evidence are totally convincing. He "If I presented my evidence in any court of law, I’d get a conviction." Includes eight pages of black and white photographs.

Poslední měsíce života slavné hvězdy. Na veřejnost se poprvé dostávají záznamy z deníku, který si vedla. Konec života Marilyn Monroe se přiblížil ve chvíli, kdy slunce zalilo kapotu luxusního Lincolnu Continental, který vyjel z letiště v Los Angeles a zamířil přes Santa Moniku dál na sever. Důležití muži v jejím životě, ona klika báječných a slavných mužů, kdysi jí tak bezmezně oddaných a zcela okouzlených, zatím prošla zlověstnou proměnou. Když naleštěný lincoln zpomalil, aby zabočil doprava na bulvár San Vicente a pak do centra Los Angeles, byl ten nejvyděšenější z Marilyniných milenců už skálopevně přesvědčen o nutnosti provést plán, který situaci vyřeší. To, co uslyšel v prvních minutách krátké cesty, ho přesvědčilo, že jediným řešením je Marilynina smrt. Její neochota mlčet byla pro jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa mimořádně nebezpečná. Marilyn už pro něj nepředstavovala mámivý sen ani opojnou fantazii, ale jen noční můru. V sobotu 4. srpna 1962 odpoledne, kdy nad pobřežím svištěl „ďábelský vichr“ z kalifornských hor, pohlíželi jistí odhodlaní jedinci na nejzářivější hollywoodskou hvězdu a nejkrásnější ženu světa, novodobou Helenu Trójskou, se zlověstným odporem…
