The sensational sex scandal that ended the career of one of Hollywood's earliest superstars--and generated a tidal wave of public indignation that nearly destroyed the entire film industry--is brought to vivid life in this riveting true crime narrative. Dispelling the salacious myths and lurid legends that have accumulated around Fatty Arbuckle's notorious 'wild party,' Merritt's book will surely stand as the definitive work on a case that has fascinated and titillated for nearly a century. --Harold Schechter, author of The Serial Killer Files and The Devil's Gentleman
