Bloody Wednseday

From book's back cover: "On October 30, 1968, silent-screen romantic star Ramon Novarro entertained two young brothers in his Hollywood mansion. By midnight he was dead, the victim of a vicious bloody beating. After more than two years of intensive investigation, Joel L. Harrison unmasked the true story behind Novarro's senseless death. In detail, he traces the events leading up to the murder, the nightmarish execution of the crime itself, and the ensuing police investigation and courtroom drama. This is a chillingly graphic acount of a crime that had overtones of male prostitution and homosexuality. It is the true story of how a deadly triangle was inexorably formed... two young "hustlers," wending their way through the Hollywood scene, coming face to face with an aging man's compulsive passion."
