The Empty Glass: A Novel,324 pp. "In the early-morning hours of August 5, 1962, Los Angeles County deputy coroner Ben Fitzgerald arrives at the home of the world's most famous movie star, now lying dead in her bedroom, naked and still clutching a telephone.Â  There he discoversÂ The Book of SecretsÂ - Marilyn Monroe's diary - revealing a doomed love affair with a man she refers to only as "The General."Â  In the following days, Ben unravels a wide-ranging cover-up and some heartbreaking truths about the fragile, luminous woman behind the celebrity.Â  Soon the sinister and surreal accounts inÂ The Book of SecretsÂ bleed into Ben's own life, and he finds himself, like Monroe, trapped in a deepening paranoid conspiracy.Â Â The Empty GlassÂ is an unforgettable combination of the riveting facts and legendary theories that have dogged Monroe, the Kennedy's, the Mafia, and even the CIA for decades. It is an exciting debut from a remarkable new thriller writer."Keywords: JI J I BAKER EMPTY GLASS FICTION MARILYN MONROE DIARY THRILLER MYSTERY TRUE CRIME ENTERTAINMENT MOVIES TV
