The Menendez Brothers. The Investigation of the Sensational Murder That Shocked the World

A calm neighborhood with respectable residents, luxury, silence, peace. A Sunday in August 1989. It seemed nothing could disrupt the measured life in Beverly Hills. But in one of the houses, gunshots rang out…

“Such things don’t happen here!” whispered neighbors, discussing the shocking murder of Jose and Kitty Menendez, whose main suspects became their own sons.

But was the idyllic image of a complete, affluent family merely a fragile facade behind which true HELL was hidden?

— Why was the life of the Menendez brothers compared to a concentration camp?

— How is Ricky Martin connected to the case?

— What were the children saved from by stuffed animals?

This book is the culmination of over 30 years of work by journalist Robert Rand, who examined every detail of the brutal tragedy. With a unique opportunity for access to the Menendez family, Rand uncovered extraordinary details, shocking revelations never before published, which led to a reconsideration of the brothers’ case in court.
