About the Author
In his career at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, Vincent Bugliosi successfully prosecuted 105 of 106 felony jury trials, including every murder case. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his true-crime classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of Vincent's other true-crime books - And the Sea Will Tell and Outrage - also reached #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list, as did his latest book, Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. No other American true-crime writer has ever had more than one that book achieved this ranking. Vincent lives with his wife of many years in Los Angeles.
Curt Gentry (1931-2014), an Edgar winner, was the author of J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets, Frame-Up: The Incredible Case of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings, and co-author of Helter Skelter with Vincent Bugliosi.
