Publisher's summary
Dorothy Kilgallen may be best known as a panelist on the game show “What’s My Line?” but as a syndicated writer with the Hearst papers, her “Voice of Broadway” column was devoured by millions of daily readers. And as an investigative journalist, she covered some of the biggest stories and court cases of the mid-20th century, even securing a Pulitzer Prize nomination.
A pioneering television and radio personality, she was also a fashion icon, threw extravagant parties and engaged in feuds with famous men including Frank Sinatra, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson and even a prominent Catholic priest.
After her friend President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Dorothy courageously challenged the official account of his death by doing a series of explosive articles that unearthed important new leads. Jack Ruby’s own lawyer, Melvin Belli, labeled her reporting “the ruin of the Warren Commission.” Dorothy was the only reporter to score private talks with the enigmatic Ruby. She vowed to blow the lid off the cover-up and expose the truth behind the Kennedy assassination, but died trying.
In her magazine article, Jordan-Heintz was the first to print the name of the man who romanced DK and then became the number one (unofficial) suspect when she died; the first author to present eyewitness interviews with people close to Dorothy who were never questioned by police; the first to get incriminating quotes from the suspected killer; the first to reveal shocking new forensic evidence of foul play.
THE INCREDIBLE LIFE & MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF DOROTHY KILLGALLEN is a biography and true crime drama that explores the complexities of Dorothy's private and personal lives, showcasing her work as a formidable reporter and astute observer of geopolitics. A SMOKING GUN links Kilgallen’s suspected killer to the CIA, and reveals his confessed role (captured on audiotape) in a controversial CIA operation that was launched by Allen Dulles, and run by E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

While touring South America, some of the sites in the amazing and unparalleled Brazil, certainly gave my group the chill. To the ones that asked me, "Conny, what happened on this much-discussed trip?" I always answered, "Yes, it really was off the chart." That being said, I didn't know where to start. One day, the idea popped, I'd write the unbelievable story. Finally, I did and found my glory. Anyone who traveled, or in the midst of traveling, perhaps planning a trip, yes Indeed, This book is a must-listen.

Story
In 2018, after nearly a decade's hiatus, the state of Tennessee began executing death row inmates, bucking national trends that showed the death penalty in decline. In less than two years, the state put seven men to death. It was an execution spree unlike any seen in Tennessee since the 1940s, only brought to a halt by a global pandemic. Award-winning journalist Steven Hale was the leading reporter on these executions, covering them both locally for the Nashville Scene alt-weekly and nationally for The Appeal.

Story
When lamps and electronic devices began turning themselves on and off in my home and I continually woke at 3:30 a.m. with a headache, I felt the living presence of my father who had been dead for seventeen years. I would learn that the veil between our two worlds was no more than a state of mind. Mediumship is not the stuff of Hollywood Horror movies—it is a naturally occurring grace bestowed upon the grieving by loved ones in spirit. If the living will only open their eyes—there is a whole new world to gain.

Story
John (Jack) Downey, Jr., was a new Yale graduate in the post-World War II years who, like other Yale grads, was recruited by the young CIA. He joined the Agency and was sent to Japan in 1952, during the Korean War. In a violation of protocol, he took part in an air drop that failed and was captured over China. His sources on the ground had been compromised, and his identity was known. Although he first tried to deny who he was, he eventually admitted the truth. But government policy forbade ever acknowledging the identity of spies, no matter the consequences.
