Summary

Crystal Jackson presents a gripping novel based on the true-life story of the Black man who officially investigated Marilyn Monroe's case in 1962 and signed her death certificate. At 22 years old, Lionel "Frenchy" Grandison was on top of the world. He had married his high school sweetheart, purchased a new home in Pacoima, and landed a prestigious job at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. Everything in his life was perfect until the famous Hollywood actress died.

This mind-boggling novel is a biographical fiction account of Grandison's real-life story that chronicles an inexplicable tale of love, triumph, and tragedy. Growing up in a small Black suburban town during the 1950s, he quickly climbed the civil service ranks to become a deputy coroner's aide. After working on several high-profile cases, when Marilyn Monroe's body was found deceased, it was assigned to him. However, the young deputy began to question a rush to judgment of suicide after strange events occured during the investigation, including a startling discovery.

Based on Grandison's published memoir, Jackson's eye-opening novel reveals accurate inside details from the official coroner's investigation while utilizing the actual documented facts of Marilyn Monroe's case. This heart-wrenching novel captures the emotion of Frenchy's family life, how he overcame personal challenges, and the ultimate betrayal he faced when dark forces at the coroner's office and elsewhere sought to take away everything dear.

The Marilyn Monroe Connection is an epic tale about a 1950s Black suburban community intersecting with Hollywood's most infamous death and one man's unyielding fight against those seeking to destroy his life and silence the truth about how the legendary actress died.
