Publisher's Note
Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the twentieth century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Here is the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime.

Both Helter Skelter and Vincent Bugliosi's subsequent Till Death Us Do Part won Edgar Allan Poe Awards for best true-crime book of the year.

The inside story behind the Manson killings explains how Charles Manson was able to make his "family" murder for him, chronicles the investigation, and describes in detail the court trial that brought him and his accomplices to justice. Winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award. Reprint.

The prosecutor of the Tate-LaBianca trials presents the inside story behind the Manson killings, explaining how Charles Manson was able to make his "family" murder for him, chronicling the investigation, and describing the court trial that brought him and his accomplices to justice.

Extremely informative! Perfect for true crime buffs

Created: 23/10/06
Personally I am a HUGE fan of true crime books. Not so much the crime itself but more the legal aspect and the details required to prosecute a case.

This book DOES NOT sugar-coat the atrocities commited by the Manson family. It is very blunt, very direct and very detailed. I DO NOT reccommend it for young teen readers due to the graphic nature and subject matter. However if you are looking for a very matter of fact account of the cases and the investigation- THIS is the book to read!! It tells of all of the hard investigative work by law enforcement yet does not hesitate to say "we should have done this better"

Still waiting for the end...

Created: 03/05/09
Well, I made a final offer fot this book in March. I paid for it, including the expensive shipping tax. Hippo books informed me it could take at least 8 weeks before I receive it. As it didn't happen, I wrote about the status of my purchase. They told me it absolutely should already been arrived by then, the book had probabely been lost and that they would send me a new book. About two days later, I received another notice from hippo books. They said they were very sorry, but there was no more this books in their shelves and that they would be glad to refund me. In april 29º I received a message as it follows:

Helter Skelter for my daughter

Created: 10/03/08
I remember reading this book a long time ago and it was very detailed and I couldn't put it down. Now my daughter is studying to be an FBI profiler and I couldn't believe she had never even heard of this book (showing my age) so I bought it for her and she loves it too!
