The true story of one of the most notorious court cases of the 20th century. — the group murder of actress Sharon Tate and her friends by the Manson Family. Chilling details, religion and mysticism, a psychological portrait of the “California Ripper” and a documentary report on the trial of Charlie Manson. The tragedy that unfolded in Hollywood in the late 1960s, which is the subject of this book, has no statute of limitations; the names of its participants are still well known, and the main characters have acquired the status of cult personalities over the past years. The book is based on authentic materials on the Charles Manson case. The punctuation of the edition emphasizes the documentary nature of the text.
