As a man with unprecedented access to the facts and a reporter who
is one of the most feared journalists in Hollywood, investigative
reporter Dylan Howard has cracked open scandals that have
brought down the careers of Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Hulk Hogan,
and Paula Dean and others. Howard's sense for news saw him rise to
become the undisputed most powerful gossip editor in the
world-publishing dozens of salacious tabloid magazines each week,
including Us Weekly, The National Enquirer,
Star, In Touch, Life & Style,
RadarOnline.com, and more.
Described by The New Yorker magazine's Jeffrey Toobin as "a
tabloid prodigy" and AdWeek as "the king of Hollywood
scoops," Dylan also brought to light the hate-fueled audiotapes of
Oscar-winning actor/director Gibson blasting former girlfriend
Oksana Grigorieva; the scandal-plagued death of screen darling
Farrah Fawcett; the naming of the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
love child; the demise of star-on-the-rise politician Anthony
Weiner; and the Tiger Woods sex scandal. He also broke the story of
the A-list high-stakes poker scam that was later made into the
Oscar-nominated film Molly's Game.
Most recently, Howard made a name for himself with a stunning
expose of Sheen that revealed Hollywood's most unapologetic
hedonist was HIV positive. It also was a story of extraordinary
corruption, violence, lies, intimidation, death threats, and
millions of dollars paid out in hush money-a story that he
chronicled in a first-person essay for The Hollywood
Reporter that AdWeek called "jaw dropping."
He also develops and executive produces premium unscripted
television shows and podcasts, including last year's blockbuster
podcast series "Fatal Voyage: The Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood"
that garnered over 10 million downloads and 50 million media
impressions worldwide. The series was named to Apple Podcasts' Most
Downloaded New Shows of 2018 and was named a 2019 Webby Best Series
honoree by the International Academy of Digital Arts and
Sciences.
In 2011, Howard was named Entertainment Journalist of the Year at
the National Entertainment Journalism Awards, where the judges
labelled him the "go-to guy for authoritative showbiz news and
analysis on cable and over-the-air television." Howard is the
author of Diana: Case Solved and lives in New York City.
Melissa Cronin is an investigative journalist whose
ingenious reporting and dynamic writing have been behind some of
the world's biggest and most scandalous stories. After graduating
with honors from Harvard, Cronin became a leader of the tabloid
world, making her mark at Star magazine, In Touch,
The Daily, Page Six, RadarOnline, and
OK! magazine. She uncovered memorable scandals involving Tom
Cruise, Charlie Sheen, the Kardashians, and more.
She also is renowned for her ability to successfully lead reporting
teams on breaking news and enterprise stories. Named one of
FOLIO's Top Women in Media for 2018, Cronin is "A
Director-Level Doer" who "almost forensically tracks PR metrics,"
New York magazine raved. Cronin has served as producer on
several record-breaking television, podcast, and digital media
projects. She lives in Palm Springs.
James Robertson broke the story of Jeffrey Epstein's first
prison suicide attempt-and has continued to set the news agenda
with his jaw-dropping world exclusives. A winner of MHP30 To Watch:
Young Journalist Awards in 2014 while senior showbiz reporter at
The Daily Mirror in London, he relocated to Los Angeles the
same year. In his first 24 months in America, the Welsh-born
Robertson traveled to more than 30 states-covering terrorism, high
school shootings, celebrity scandals and political bombshells for
print and digital publications globally.
His fearless and forensic investigative-style journalism made him
renowned for being the trailblazer who gets the story others can't.
From exposing Scientology's ruthless practices to uncovering
pay-offs in Hollywood and scooping an affair that sparked the most
expensive divorce in history, Robertson was also praised by pundits
for his "extraordinary" interview with Gloria Chapman, the loyal
wife of John Lennon's killer Mark Chapman, breaking her silence for
the only time since 1980. In 2017, he became the youngest
Editor-In-Chief in tabloid media at the helm of OK! magazine
at only age 27, a position he still holds while overseeing
reporting as Head of News for Us Weekly, The National
Enquirer, RadarOnline, InTouch, Star, and
Life & Style.
Epstein reflects the hard work and research Dylan Howard,
Melissa Cronin, and James Robertson have put to tell this horrible
story. It is well-researched and beautifully written. It should be
required reading for young journalists who aspire to become
investigative journalists. Epstein is the true story of
crime in high places, but it is as gripping and thrilling as a good
novel can be. It is a perfect match for those who love to read true
crime.
