Denial of Justice

Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power, and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History

By: Mark Shaw

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Why is What’s My Line? TV star and Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen one of the most feared journalists in history? Why has her threatened exposure of the truth about the JFK assassination triggered a cover-up by at least four government agencies and resulted in abuse of power at the highest levels?

Denial of Justice - in the spirit of best-selling author Mark Shaw’s gripping true crime murder mystery, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much - tells the inside story of why Kilgallen was such a threat leading up to her unsolved murder in 1965. Shaw includes facts that have never before been published, including eyewitness accounts of the underbelly of Kilgallen’s private life, revealing statements by family members convinced she was murdered, and shocking new information about Jack Ruby’s part in the JFK assassination that only Kilgallen knew about, causing her to be marked for danger.

Peppered with additional evidence signaling the potential motives of Kilgallen’s arch enemies J. Edgar Hoover, mobster Carlos Marcello, Frank Sinatra, her husband Richard, and her last lover, Denial of Justice adds the final chapter to the story behind why the famous journalist was killed, with no investigation to follow despite a staged death scene.

Compelling -- a must!

Having previously read The Reporter Who Knew Too Much, I was at first skeptical that there could be anything to add to this compelling story regarding the mysterious death of Dorothy Kilgallen. I was WRONG! Author Mark Shaw has gone far beyond my expectations. His exhaustive, meticulous research results in a book that would do Dorothy herself proud! We are given a portrait of a brave woman, flawed as she might have been at times, who nevertheless did not deserve the fate that she received from persons unknown who wanted to silence her. If you get nothing else from this book, I am certain you will come away with a deeper respect for this woman whose extraordinary efforts to bring out the truth in her work have been underrated for decades. To those who only remember Dorothy Kilgallen as a media star of the fifties and sixties, this account of her life and death will astonish you. Mark Shaw is to be commended for all that he has done so far in his efforts to secure justice for Dorothy, and his continued efforts in this extremely difficult and uphill battle should be applauded. With fine narration, this is a great listen -- HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!

Intriguing

What a great bio of a forgotten about celebrity journalist. She is never spoken of.

Great book

The most compelling story of Killgallen and the JFK conspiracy that’s out there. I loved the the book.

Still many unanswered questions

There were many people trying to quiet Dorothy, and after today's events, it seems that they remain successful. The book told a tale of how the "matrix" was alive back in the 50's and to punch through to the real world meant eventual doom to those who took the dare. We must earmark, in history, Mark's dogged determination and persistence to get to the bottom of the saga, as the truth will soon be revealed.
A couple of issues: BJ needs to make sure he knows the characters. His mispronounced names, at times, were like fingernails on a chalkboard. The producers should have taken care in preparation and made proper edits.

Excellent research

Dorthy Kilgallen will not be forgotten because of the excellent research author, Mark William Shaw, has done. Dorthy was ahead of her time as an investigative journalist into the JFK assassination, Oswalt then Jack Ruby. A must read.

Overly long

The author is quite passionate about Dorothy Kilgallen and it becomes a plea for restoring her reputation, getting in the way of the investigation that Kilgallen was in the process of completing concerning the assassination of KFJ. I did find it fascinating and enjoyed it.

Amazingly good!!

What a great book and such incredible research done by Mark. Hear about Mr. Shaw on C2C with George Noory . Love them both!!

Compelling story; important and chilling

I’m so glad that I now know who Dorothy Kilgallen was and can appreciate her fearless investigative work around the JFK and Oswald assassinations (Nov. 1963). (Thank you to this author!) She came so close to revealing the true facts of this piece of American history. But, so unjustly, Kilgallen was silenced by an untimely and suspicious death in Nov. 1965, at the height of her investigation. It’s a fascinating and compelling story. It’s also saddening and maddening to read of the way that powerful entities in our country did and still do silence the accurate history that is our legacy to learn and know. The true history has been buried, and those who have tried to expose it intimidated into silence, made to look crazy, or in numerous cases killed, because the facts would expose such shocking corruption by representatives in our government whom the American people entrusted to follow the rule of law and a moral code of decency. Dorothy Kilgallen was a little too righteous in her quest for the truth, naive in her faith in our system of government, until what she uncovered finally frightened her for her life - with good reason. She became another victim in a shocking piece of our national story that must come to light. I’m an educated and reasonable person, an attorney, a mother of four, having no special attraction to “conspiracy” theories. There is no doubt, however, based on mountains of evidence, that Oswald was not a “lone assassin” and that Dorothy Kilgallen came perilously close (for the wrongdoers) to exposing the sordid truth of the JFK assassination.

I expected more

Very repetitive. Worse than is a novel. I expected facts and real evidence. There are many hypothesis, but nothing proven.
I do not recommend this title.

Incredible research and details

A must read for truth seekers! Common sense answers to a long ago mystery! Thank you!!!
