outstanding newsmen.
Albert P. Govoni, editor of True Detective magazine, said about our
author:
"I can promise that a book on murder by George Carpozi Jr. will bean
unforgettable experience. It will be nothing like the contrived whodunits
of the home screen, because Carpozi's experience lies with real killers,
real detectives, real victims who shed blood."
Robert Kirsch, book critic of the Los Angeles Times, wrote:
"George Carpozi Jr. is closer to Damon Runyon than Tom Wolfe in his
style Carpozi is the archetypal police reporter, tough with a core of
sentiment, knowledgeable about police procedure and courtroom
strategy, intensely curious and always active ferreting out tips, watching
the deadline for scoops."
Syndicated Broadway columnist Earl Wilson saluted the author with
this high praise of his abilities as a commentator in the entertainment world:
"George Carpozi Jr. is one of my favorite biographers of the stars. He
knows Hollywood people!" Vissza
