[Lya Ramos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. I felt like I was watching a high quality Hollywood action movie in my head. The book needed some work around the edges with grammar and such but the story is soo captivating that I didn't even notice the editing mistakes. There are mysteries that keep us wondering like how did Marilyn Monroe really die.This book has an awesome story that includes problems we face everyday, making it more appealing and interesting. I can't wait to read his second book!!

This book is extraordinary story that kept me engaged with every page I turned. The book reveals a story about a journal that was written by Marilyn Monroe back in the fifties. Inadvertently forty years later a burned out PI finds the trail of the book which contents threaten the aspirations of a presidential candidate who is willing to kill for it. For those of us who love action and the adrenaline rush this is the right reading material to keep you at the edge of your seat. I highly recommend it.
