title: The Hollywood Murder Casebook
author:  Michael Munn 
description: This superficial survey investigates 13 mysterious Hollywood deaths, some of them possible murders, others perhaps suicides. Munn is particularly interested in unsolved cases, like the fatal shooting of director William Desmond Taylor in 1922, the death of actor-writer-director-producer Thomas Ince in 1924, which, the author speculates, may have occurred aboard William Randolph Hearst's yacht, and the simultaneous deaths of actor Gig Young and his bride Kim Schmidt in 1978. Also covered are infamous cases involving the gunning down of underworld figure Bugsy Siegel, Cheryl Crane's stabbing of her mother Lana Turner's lover, the Sharon Tate massacre and the knifing of Sal Mineo. Munn's (Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston) overview is macabre and so sketchy that some cases are dealt with in as few as five pages. Photos. <br />Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Roxann Thorgesson’s world is out of control. After her father suffers a fatal

  prime suspect. He offers something no newspaperwoman could refuse:
  exclusive access to his headline-making murder accusation, in exchange for
  her help in uncovering the true killer. When their investigation leads them to
  a city hall conspiracy, both their lives and their newly reignited flame could
  be permanently extinguished…
