Hollywood Bleeds

By Mike Rothmiller

"Rothmiller was in a position to know. He did very sensitive work."
Marvin Rudnick, Assistant United States Attorney.
The Department of Justice Organized Crime Strike Force in Los Angeles.

Notable readers who sent letters to Rothmiller praising his books include actor Charlton Heston; Presidents Bill Clinton, President George Bush, President Jimmy Carter, First Lady Laura Bush; General Norman Schwarzkopf; and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Mike Rothmiller has filled the shoes of the late Joseph Wambaugh. He's a former LAPD detective who did the work, and now wrote this amazing insiders novel.

Rothmiller is a former LAPD Detective and New York Times bestselling author who spent years inside one of law enforcement's most enigmatic worlds. Assigned as a deep-undercover detective in the LAPDs ultra-secretive Organized Crime Intelligence Division, he penetrated international criminal networks that spanned the globe, following intelligence trails across borders and into the shadows. His investigations also exposed political corruption at the highest and most dangerous levels of government in the United States and Mexico.

Now, Rothmiller pulls readers behind the crime-scene tape and into the strange, ruthless, and often surreal world of high-profile Hollywood murders-where detectives, police chiefs, power brokers, and predators collide. In Los Angeles, Hollywood has always been king, and murder in its orbit is never just murder.

This book fuses a major homicide investigation with the hidden machinery of LAPD intelligence, the FBI, and espionage. Packed with deception, power plays, and stunning twists, it plunges readers into a shocking world where fame, corruption, and violence meet-and where the truth is more explosive than anyone expects.

Typical five-star reviews of his books.

Rothmiller's book, Secret, Lies and Deception, was featured on Fox News.

A five-star review. You could not ask for an author with better credentials: Ten years as a highly respected member of the LAPD and five years with the Organized Crime Intelligence Division (OCID). Having read such a complete book that answers so many questions in this highly enigmatic case makes me wonder how anybody could write a better book. A real page turner Highly recommended

A five-star review. Bombshell reads like a James Ellroy novel with its catalogue of corruption' Mick Brown, Telegraph Newspaper

A five-star review. This book gives step by step details of what most likely happened on the day London.
A five star review. I enjoyed the book. Learning about how true crime was handled back in the days before forensics. You will enjoy it, too.

A five-star review. I couldn't put this book down, tons of stories I've never heard of some I have. I enjoyed this book. Avid true crime readers won't want to miss.

A five-star review. History, especially Royal History, always has fascinated me very much.
But murder and crime also is a part of the society, sadly. So, it was very interesting to read all these stories with a fresh look from the author. I learned many things from this book, reading it was very easy and interesting
A five star review. From the first page to the last it held my interest.
