Book Overview
"J. I. Baker takes a bold run into Cain and DeLillo territory and scores." --Barry Gifford, author of Wild at Heart 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. There he discovers The Book of Secrets --Marilyn Monroe's diary--revealing a doomed love affair with a man she refers to only as "The General." In the following days, Ben unravels a cover-up that implicates the Kennedys, the Mafia, and the CIA. Soon the sinister and surreal accounts recorded in The Book bleed into Ben's own life, and he finds himself trapped--like Monroe--in a deepening paranoid conspiracy. A knockout combination of fact and legend, The Empty Glass is a riveting debut thriller.

I thought any plot involving Marilyn Monroe would quickly captivate the reader's attention, but this novel just fell short. At times the sentence structure was awkward, making the story difficult to follow.
