Bye Bye, Baby by Max Allan Collins

Max Allan Collins is an author from Muscatine, Iowa who went to high school with my dad. Bye Bye, Baby is Collin’s fifteenth book featuring private detective Nate Heller. In this volume, Nate is in Los Angeles and has been hired by Marilyn Monroe to tap her phones. Soon after taking the case, however, Nate learns that he isn’t the only person tapping Marilyn’s phone! Three months later, Marilyn is dead and the authorities are calling it suicide, but Nate isn’t convinced. The more Nate learns about the powerful and dangerous people Marilyn was involved with, the more he is certain that her death wasn’t a simple suicide. If you like historical fiction or if you’re interested in Marilyn Monroe, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book.
