An important and welcome addition to the Marilyn Monroe canon for all Norma Jean/ Marilyn Monroe collectors. The death of Marilyn Monroe has remained the unresolved mystery of the late 20thC - until now. The brevity and discrepancies of the initial investigation,the unexplained silence of several key witnesses and the rumours sparked by her relationships with the Kennedy bothers have consistently raised suspicions that the events of Saturday August 4th 1962 did not end as they were officially documented - in the suicide of the world's most famous woman. Now,in this major new investigation, Donald H. Wolfe has succeeded where so many other writers have failed.With the testimony of the two witnesses,John Miner and Norman Jeffries,who always seemed to possess potentially explosive information but had never previously come forward, Wolfe assembles conclusive evidence proving that Marilyn Monroe was murdered. He not only names her killer and specifies the cause of death,but identifies the men who,acting upon the 'National Security Matter' surrounding Marilyn,orchestrated the subsequent cover-up. For the first time,Miner - then Los Angeles's Assistant District Attorney - reveals the details of the interview he conducted with Dr. Ralph Greenson, Marilyn's psychiatrist,and the reasons why he is calling for a new investigation and the exhumation of her body. Jefferies,meanwhile,son-in-law of Eunice Murray,Monroe's housekeeper,breaks over three decades of silence to recount the horrific and bizarre sequence of events that took place at the star's home on the day of her murder.Newly discovered CIA and FBI files expose the dark secret in Marilyn's affairs with John and Robert Kennedy,the truth behind her break-up with the President and the shocking facts about her last weekend at the Cal-Neva Lodge,the Mafia watering hole she dangerously frequented. From the opening description of the lifeless body to the moment-by-moment account of her final days and hours,'The Assassination of Marilyn Monroe' explodes every myth concerning her remarkable life and tragic death.It is a truly gripping portrait of one of the most shocking crimes of the century.
