It is one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century. How did Marilyn Monroe die? Although no pills were found in her stomach during the autopsy, it was still documented in the Los Angeles coroner's report that she had swallowed sixty-four sleeping pills prior to her demise. In Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder , biographer Jay Margolis presents the most thorough investigation of Marilyn Monroe's death to date and shares how he reached the definitive conclusion that she was murdered. Margolis meticulously dissects the events leading up to her death, revealing a major conspiracy and countless lies. In an exclusive interview with actress Jane Russell three months before her death, he reveals Russell's belief that Monroe was murdered and points the finger at the man she held responsible. While examining the actions of Peter Lawford, Bobby Kennedy, and Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, Margolis establishes a timeline of her last day alive that leads to shocking revelations. In August 1962, Marilyn Monroe's lifeless body was found on her bed, leaving all to wonder what really happened to the beautiful young starlet. Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder provides a fascinating examination of one of the most puzzling deaths of all time. "Jay Margolis' Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder is without a doubt the most thoroughly researched (and most on point) as any I have ever read -- and I've read them all. Much in his book I can vouch for because of my twenty-year relationship with Fred Otash, Hollywood's top private detective." - Raymond Strait , Mansfield's press secretary Jay Margolis graduated summa cum laude from the University of Southern California and became a Jesse Unruh Research Scholar for his paper on African American Reparations. He spent five years researching how Marilyn Monroe died. This is his first book.   Marilyn Monroe: a Case for Murder By Jay Margolis iUniverse, Inc. Copyright © 2011 Jay Margolis All right reserved.
