Vincent Bugliosi Knihy

V létě 1969 vyděsila celou Ameriku série brutálních, zdánlivě náhodných vražd spáchaných během dvou nocí v Los Angeles. Mezi oběťmi byla mimo jiné slavná herečka (a její nenarozené dítě), módní kadeřník a stylista, dědička kávového impéria či spořádaní středostavovští manželé. Zpočátku neplodné pátrání nakonec policii a úřad státního zástupce zavedlo k Charlesi Mansonovi. Tento neúspěšný hudebník, chronický delikvent a samozvaný guru žil v poušti se skupinou oddaných příznivců, především mladých žen. Jaký byl motiv za zdánlivě nesmyslným výběrem Mansonových obětí, a jak dokázal ovládat zejména mladé dívky natolik, že slepě plnily jeho příkazy? Jako státní zástupce pověřený vedením obžaloby získal Vincent Bugliosi do celého případu jedinečný vhled. Jeho kniha je zasvěceným, podrobným líčením událostí, které časem nabyly v americké společnosti téměř mytických rozměrů.
