Originally, Los Angeles police thought Berman’s death was a mob hit, because Berman’s father, Davie Berman, was a Jewish mobster with ties to the Chicago syndicate, plus Berman was killed with a single bullet to the back of her head, which at the time was believed to be a contract-style hit. She was discovered dead in her rented Beverly Hills home, lying face down in a spare bedroom after her dogs were seen running in and out of an open back door. A journalist, screenwriter and author of Easy Street, Berman grew up as mob royalty in Las Vegas.


The title is a biography and true account of Susan Berman and her December 23, 2000, murder.
