Thomas Thompson
Blood and Money
By Thomas Thompson
Thomas Thompson was a journalist and author who covered everything from the JFK assassination to the making of the Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. One of the prolific author’s most popular books is Blood and Money. Published in 1976, the true crime book tells the story of the murders of Joan Robinson Hill and John Hill—murders that involved a scandalous plot and the alleged involvement of Joan’s wealthy Texas oil tycoon father, Ash Robinson. Thompson’s bibliography also includes Serpentine, about convicted murderer Charles Sobhraj, and Lost! — his most successful book that tells the story of three people who were lost at sea after a storm in the Pacific.
