Hollywood: Murder City USA

PAPERBACK VERSION: Hollywood has seen a long history of sordid crimes, scandals and murder. From the Fatty Arbuckle affair right at Hollywood's beginnings to the sin-filled Fifties, this hard-hitting account puts the lie to any so-called "innocence" of the "good old days." Hollywood has been a pit of moral depravity and unsolved mysteries from its very start. This book reviews some of the bloodiest cases, from the most famous to the now-obscure. It's a non-stop rollercoaster ride of fear, ambition, lust and greed, all ending with a trip to the coroner's office. Who are the lucky few who will survive the Hollywood death machine intact? This book is rated "Teen," but does contain descriptions taken from publicly-available news accounts of various serious crimes.
