Marilyn Monroe

His work was immediately acclaimed - and an enduring bestseller, rumoured to have sold more copies than any of his other works except The Naked and the Dead .

Anthony Summers is the author of the bestselling biographies Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe and Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover.
