Bain takes the reader on a journey from Coffee, Tea or Me and the best selling comedy series it spawned to the biographies of Veronica Lake, legendary talk show king Long John Nebel, and top model and CIA mind-control subject Candy Jones; from wildly successful murder mystery novels based on the TV show Murder, She Wrote to one of the most bizarre gang wars in U.S. history, Charlie and the Shawneetown Dame.
