The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe: A True Crime Thriller

The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe examines the final period of the actress's life, tracing her activities in the months, weeks, days, and hours before her death. During this time, she worked on the script for her unfinished film Something's Got to Give, spent time photographing on Santa Monica Beach, stayed as a guest at the Cal Neva Lodge's Celebrity Room, and had an argument with US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and Peter Lawford. In a session with her psychiatrist, she reflected on her status and personal life. Monroe's superstardom during her lifetime remains difficult to categorize, and her death continues to be surrounded by mystery. The book includes anecdotes and details about this period of her life, presented with narrative pacing. On June 1, 2026, the world would mark what would have been Monroe's one hundredth birthday.
