"There have been many takes on Marilyn's life but in this exceptional, highly-surprising, painstakingly researched book, Keith has uncovered long-lost receipts, invoices, cuttings, interviews, eye-witness accounts, as well as notes that reveal the details of Monroe's last days, and how the reality of her last two years has never fully been told. After five years of highly-meticulous research, he is now able to reveal the unequivocal truth about how she died and the cover-up that ensued."
