A riveting tell-all biography that delves into the extraordinary life of Hollywood’s most infamous private detective and “fixer” to the stars, revealing newly discovered shocking revelations from his never-before-seen investigative files.

During the height of Hollywood’s Golden Age, one man lorded over the city’s lurid underbelly of forbidden sin and celebrity scandal like no other: Fred Otash. An ex-Marine turned L.A.P.D. vice cop, Otash became the most sought-after private detective and fixer to the stars by specializing in the dark arts that would soon dominate the entertainment industry.

Otash was notorious for bugging the homes, offices, and playpens of movie stars, kingmakers, and powerful politicians, employing then state-of-the-art methods of electronic surveillance and wiretapping for a who’s who list of clients for whom he’d do “anything short of murder.” He lied to federal authorities to protect Frank Sinatra from criminal liability; recorded Rock Hudson’s coming out confession to his estranged wife; moved in with Judy Garland to help her get sober; taped President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s tragic love affairs with the greatest sex symbol of all time, and listened to Marilyn Monroe die.

Based on Otash’s never-before-seen investigative files and personal archives, The Fixer takes readers inside the sensational and nefarious world of the man whose life inspired the private eye characters portrayed by Jack Nicholson in Chinatown and Russell Crowe in LA Confidential.

I think that this is a really accurate description of Hollywood back In the day!I actually met Freddy o in Cannes in the late 80s,no question that he was ahard boiled ex cop ,extremely likeable,I also met James Ellroy at a book signing In Miami Years ago,Ellroys version of events is different to say the least,and having met Freddy O in person I would say,that Ellroy has completely misrepresented him!!

As someone who has a keen interest in anything old Hollywood, mobsters, Kennedys and Marilyn I could not wait to begin listening to the book. It is a little slow in the beginning, not helped by the narrator, who at times sounded bored and fed up with the story. I had to force myself to keep going until it gripped me and his voice didn't bother me as much anymore. Fred Otashs story is quite fascinating, I learned so much about the people I have watched on screen for years, that I had not previously known. Unfortunately, the crown jewel of the story, I am talking about Marilyn of course, never gives you the satisfaction that is teased throughout the body of the book. If Mr Otash knew definitively what happened on that fateful day, it is never fully shared with the listener. Overall, I enjoyed the book very much and would recommend it to anyone with the same interests described at the beginning of this review. Nothing ground breaking about Marilyn but interesting stories about lots of other famous people from that time.

Keeps you guessing...
