Discover the definitive book on the Menendez case—and the source material for NBC's Law and Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders.

A successful entertainment executive making $2 million a year. His former beauty queen wife. Their two sons on the fast track to success. Until tragedy struck.

Married for twenty-six years, José and Kitty Menendez appeared to be a happy couple and proud parents.
