Gus Bailey, journalist to high society, knows the sordid secrets of the very rich. Now he turns his penetrating gaze to a courtroom in Los Angeles, witnessing the trial of the century unfold before his startled eyes. As the infamous case and characters begin to take shape, and a range of celebrities from Frank Sinatra to Heidi Fleiss share their own theories of the crime, Bailey bears witness to the ultimate perversion of principle and the most amazing gossip machine in Hollywood--all wrapped in a marvelously addictive true-to-life tale of love, rage, and ruin. . . .

Recensione:

"He is one of those writers who seems effortlessly to collide with copy. Movie stars confide to his answering machine. Wanted men hail the same taxi. Heiresses unload their life stories in elevators. Except, of course, Dunne's luck is not luck. People love to talk to him because he has a gift for intimacy that is real and generous."
-Tina Brown, editor, The New Yorker

"Dunne's antennae are always turned to the offbeat story... He is magazine journalism's ace social anthropologist whose area of study is the famous and infamous up close and personal."
-San Francisco Chronicle

"A sharp and unfooled observer of decor and mores."
-Los Angeles Times

"Dunne is a genius."
-Newsday

"He knows every story there is to tell, precisely how it happened, and why."
-The New York Times Book Review
