JFK-Dorothy Kilgallen and the Manhattan DA

About Mark Shaw

Mark Shaw For more than fifty years, the exhaustive 18-month investigation of theJFK assassination by What’s My Line? television star and revered investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen has been buried due to a cover-up by those threatened with a tell-all book she was writing for Random House. When the famed journalist, called by the New York Post, “the most powerful voice in America,” was found dead in her Manhattan apartment in November 1965 of an alleged drug overdose, no investigation occurred despite a staged death scene and suspicions by those closest to her that she had been murdered. Now the full thrust of Kilgallen’s search for the truth is exposed for the first time in former USA Today and CNN legal analyst Mark Shaw’s 25th book, “ The Reporter Who Knew Too Much” (Post Hill Press/Simon and Schuster). Mr. Shaw had petitioned the District Attorney Cy Vance to investigate the death of Ms. Kilgallen, but as yet has indicated any malfeasance.
