A Devil's Bargain: Joan Didion, Truman Capote, and the Frantic Race for the Manson Story

Trama

Bestselling author Lesley M.M. Blume documents the frenzied race to write the definitive account of the Manson murders―a race that included the likes of literary icons Truman Capote and Joan Didion. The trial is most famously depicted in Vincent Bugliosi’s Helter Skelter―but lesser known are the books that were almost written.
