Tere Tereba's "Mickey Cohen: The Life And Crimes of L.A's Notorious Mobster" August 11, 2012

This most recent work of non-fiction from Tere Tereba boldly approaches the story of L.A.’s criminal underworld from the point-of-view of the city’s most notorious gangster, Mickey Cohen.

Tereba’s meticulous, unprecedented research and access to rare photographs and documents reveal new truths in lore about organized crime from the early days of the film industry to the late 1970s. What are Robert F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Rev. Billy Graham, Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner, and Frank Sinatra doing appearing alongside mobsters, studio moguls, socialites, top-tier athletes, police, and pimps? You’ll have to read and find out.

“Ms. Tereba brings flair and a tone of appalled fascination to her thorough and lively study of ‘the man who plundered Los Angeles…’”- -Wall Street Journal
