ABOUT MARK SHAW

Dorothy’s life and times

Denial of Justice and the bestselling The Reporter Who Knew Too Much are the culmination of 15 years of research about the JFK assassination resulting in those two books and Melvin Belli: King of the Courtroom, and The Poison Patriarch: How the Betrayals of Joseph P. Kennedy Caused the Assassination of JFK. Triggered by a comment Belli, co-counsel for Jack Ruby that Shaw knew and briefly practiced law in the 1980s, the author decided to investigate Dorothy’s life and times and her mysterious death in 1965. By pure serendipity, and Dorothy’s guidance from the hereafter, he was able to gain the trust of Kathryn Fauble, a Los Angeles-based researcher who, along with a colleague had videotaped interviews with those closest to Dorothy. These never-before-seen interviews presented here for the first time as well as documents provided by Ms. Fauble became the foundation for Dorothy’s biographies, part tribute and part a fresh probe of her death.
