THE BOOK OF MARILYN is a heart-pounding thriller set in 1978 about the suspenseful pursuit of Marilyn Monroe's lost diary—a book that holds explosive revelations Marilyn discovered of an alleged conspiracy involving the Mafia, anti-Castro Cubans, and rogue elements of the CIA plotting to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. They saw Kennedy’s attempts to ease Cold War tensions with Cuba as a betrayal, and Marilyn—drawn into their world— became a liability. But before she could blow the whistle, she was silenced. 

In the summer of 1978, fresh-faced Los Angeles columnist Alex De LaCruz is about to stumble upon the biggest story of his life—a story that could rewrite history, cost lives, and shake the very foundation of power in America. 

It all begins with a knock on his door late one night. Standing before him is Josie Clémenceau, a middle-aged woman whose beauty evokes an era of old Hollywood glamour—yet her eyes carry the weight of secrets that have been buried for too long. Alex had met her once before, cleaning out the last home Marilyn Monroe ever lived in. At the time, she seemed like just another former starlet down on her luck. But now, she’s back, and she’s holding something that could change everything: Marilyn Monroe’s lost diary.

From the shadowy corridors of Hollywood’s past to the quiet halls of the JFK Presidential Library in New England, Alex and Josie embark on a thrilling journey that spans coast to coast—and beyond. Their search for answers takes them from California’s sun-soaked boulevards to the cold, austere streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where hidden truths and deadly secrets await.

As they dig deeper, the threats against them mount. Powerful adversaries close in, determined to destroy any evidence that could implicate them in a conspiracy that stretches back to the Bay of Pigs. They are up against protectors of the highest ranks—men whose reputations, careers, and very lives depend on keeping the truth buried.

And at the center of it all is Marilyn Monroe—forever an icon, yet tragically caught in a web of deceit and danger she could never escape.

But Alex and Josie are running out of time. The diary is more than just a link to the past—it is a ticking time bomb, one that, if exposed, could unravel decades of corruption. As Alex grows closer to Josie, he begins to suspect that her connection to Marilyn goes even deeper than she’s let on. The lines between past and present blur as Alex realizes that the forces hunting them are capable of unimaginable violence—and that the truth might be far darker than anyone ever suspected.

The Book of Marilyn brilliantly blends historical intrigue with relentless suspense. With its whip-smart dialogue, a gripping plot that unfolds like a game of high-stakes chess, and characters you’ll root for at every twist and turn, this is not just another conspiracy novel—it’s a page-turner that redefines the genre.

 As Alex and Josie race toward a conclusion that could change history as we know it, The Book of Marilyn will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about one of the most famous women of the 20th century—and the dark, powerful forces that conspired to silence her forever.
