DEM: The Published Works
DAN E. MOLDEA: BIOGRAPHY IN BRIEF
Below is a catalog of my ten published books, along with links that explain the detailed history behind those investigative works, as well as seven breathtaking and mind-blowing “intermezzos”—dramas in which I played a role.
This presentation confirms and documents my legitimate standing as a top expert on several high-profile murder cases—Jimmy Hoffa, Robert Kennedy, Dean Milo, and the O.J. Simpson killings—and two suspicious but confirmed suicides: Vincent Foster and Deborah Jeane Palfrey, aka the D.C. Madam.
In addition, this catalog also confirms and documents my expertise on the history of the Mafia in Hollywood, the association between the NFL and the Mafia, the Anthony Pellicano federal conspiracy case, and corruption in the federal student loan program.
And, along with all of that, I detail in an intermezzo how I helped to rescue a great American President.
The individual book catalogs and intermezzos are excerpts from the third edition of my memoir, Confessions of a Guerrilla Writer: Adventures in the Jungles of Crime, Politics, and Journalism.
