Marty Allen, veteran news reporter, is given the most challenging assignment of his career: determine if iconic movie actress Marilyn Monroe machine-gunned down seven bikers in 1961.At the same time, he wants to know why his girlfriend, a hard-nosed police detective, left him for a cop who abuses women and breaks legs, a quest that will nearly cost him his life.According to a tipster, the bikers almost assaulted Monroe while she was strolling along the beach in Hollywood, Florida.But four mafia soldiers, secretly providing her protection at the behest of their boss, rescued her. They were about to blow away the would-be attackers in a warehouse - until Monroe, seeking retaliation, asked to do the honors.Lending a modicum of credibility to this account, the tipster asserts that it happened shortly after Monroe was released from a psychiatric hospital. Marty, who works for a news and entertainment magazine, doesn't buy any of it initially. Yet he digs deep to learn about Monroe's difficult life and her controversial death at a young age.He discovers her alleged incident is remarkably similar to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, where mobsters blasted away seven men in a Chicago garage in the 1920s. He examines Monroe's ties to a mafia kingpin. And he even tracks down the Tommy Gun she supposedly used and verifies it's the same model involved in the earlier Chicago mob hit.Ultimately, Marty will find the shocking truth behind the tipster's claim the actress was a mass murdererer.

The exuberant 1920s gave rise to advertising pioneer Raymond Rubicam and his ambitious café society wife, who posed in London with her three young daughters for a titled English painter. The society portrait, which the author inherited from his mother, one of the sitters, captures a family of apparent ease, affluence and gracious manners. Yet the artist subtly undermines this serenity and hints at the mental anguish just beneath the surface. In this moving memoir, the author carries us along on his journey to uncover the mystery behind this picture and the genetic disposition that threads its insidious way down from his grandmother's line to strike all three daughters, and plant its venom in many of their children and children's children as well. What emerges from this scene of serenity is a picture of tragic and devastating consequences, with suffering and redemption, all set against the rise of New York's media driven commercial culture and the author's quest to understand why his own early life took the course it did.

This story is historical fiction about the city of Waco, Texas, Baylor University, and some of the Baptists and folks of the town during the latter years of the 19th Century. Most of the characters are loosely based on real people that lived at the time but are exaggerated and extrapolated to develop the story. Not everything was peaceful serenity in this small town located on the Brazos River on the cusp of the 20th Century. People held grudges and had axes to grind for real or perceived wrongdoings between such characters as William Cowper Brann a semi-famous local newspaper writer, the Carroll Brothers who ran the Baptist religion in the state, and the mayor of Waco, J.W. Riggins. Red, the primary narrator falls in love with Inez Brann, the daughter of William Cowper Brann, the city's primary antagonist of the story. Red is heartbroken at their truncated relationship. As the story progresses, the history of the city including the devastating F5 tornado that struck the city in 1953, plays a critical part in a love story and quite possibly subsequent tragedies that have repeatedly struck the city over the years.
