Denial of Justice

As the title states, Dorothy Kilgallen received, and continues to receive, a denial of justice.

I read The Reporter Who Knew Too Much a while back and haven't stopped talking about it since. Reading Denial of Justice, it's added fuel to the fire. I will probably end up repeating sentiments in my Reporter Who Knew Too Much review, but the fact Dorothy Kilgallen is practically unknown today is sickening. And when someone does know her name, it's most likely from a What's My Line? rerun.

A groundbreaking reporter, a brilliant mind as seen on tv and as seen through her writing, a woman who worked her way to the top in male dominated industries without losing her elegance has been almost forgotten... in only 54 years? That in itself is cause for suspicion. This woman was the most famous columnist in America and known internationally. Take a browse through internet archives and you'll see for yourself. How has history so quickly forgotten her while hundreds of other people with minor achievements are still household names? And in the age of feminism, no less! This alone is an injustice, never mind the fact her case is being all but ignored by those in power.

Thankfully, there are people like Mark Shaw who will not settle for the ‘accidental overdose' theory. The extent of his research is true homage to Dorothy. Just as she went above and beyond in her JFK investigation, Mark Shaw is going above and beyond to uncover the truth surrounding Dorothy's death. In this book, he has proposed a handful of scenarios as to what might have happened November 8th, 1965, and with everything uncovered in this book, he's likely solved this ‘forgotten' crime step by step.

Thank you, Mr. Shaw, for your integrity and persistence. As a reader and a great admirer of Ms. Kilgallen, I continue to spread the word about the case as well as direct people to your books. Uncovering who murdered Dorothy Kilgallen is one of the keys to solving the mystery of JFK's assassination point blank.
