Beverly Hills Noir

Summary

Featured in Vanity Fair
Beverly Hills Noir explores the city’s true crime history, delving deep inside cases
that made headlines, scandals that engulfed Hollywood legends, and more
strange-but-true tales that could only happen in the 90210.
Beverly Hills Noir chronicles an assortment of jaw-dropping true crime stories
spanning the legendary city’s history, each with oh-so-90210 twists—including a
high-profile murder mystery in the city’s most extravagant mansion, the daring
exploits of a handsome cat burglar with movie star looks, a toxic Tinseltown love
triangle that ended in gunplay, a brazen Rodeo Drive jewelry store holdup with
tragically stunning finale, an Oscar-nominated actress on shoplifting spree and
more—complete with major roles and countless cameos by Hollywood idols and
cultural icons.
A gripping, century-long tour of the glamorous city’s shadowy underbelly through
crimes and misdemeanors as over-the-top as the city itself, Beverly Hills Noir
collects the kinds of stories you’d expect to be swapped if James Ellroy and
Dominick Dunne had met Jackie Collins and Ryan Murphy for cocktails at the Polo
Lounge. It’s Sunset Boulevard and Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood turned
sordid, face-down-in-the-pool reality.
“Beverly Hills Noir is that perfect blend: wildly entertaining, fascinating, and
informative. What a fun ride. I highly recommend it! Enjoy!”—Marcia Clark,
attorney, former prosecutor and author of bestselling fiction and nonfiction
