Love & Death (ePub)

On Friday, April 8, 1994, a body was discoveredin a room above a garage in Seattle. For theattending authorities, it was an open-and-shutcase of suicide. What no one knew then, however,and which is only being revealed here for thevery first time, is that the person found dead thatday -- Kurt Cobain, the superstar frontman ofNirvana -- was murdered.

In early April 1994, Cobain went missing for days,or so it seemed; in fact, some people knew wherehe was, and one of them was Courtney Love. Nowa star in Hollywood and rock music, in early 1994she was preparing to release her major label debutwith her band, Hole, and what she knew then,though few others did, was that Cobain wasplanning to divorce her. Love & Death paints acritical portrait of Courtney Love; it also revealsfor the first time the case tapes made by Love'sown P.I., Tom Grant, a man on a mission to findthe truth about Kurt Cobain's demise; andintroduces us to a number of characters whofeature in various theories about plots to killCobain. In addition, Cobain's grandfather goespublic, charging that his grandson was murdered.Drawing on new forensic evidence and policereports obtained under the Freedom ofInformation Act, the book explodes the myths thathave long convinced the world that Cobain tookhis own life, and reveals that the official scenariowas scientifically impossible.

Against a background of at least sixty-eightcopycat suicides since 1994, award-winninginvestigative journalists Max Wallace and IanHalperin have conducted a ten-year crusade forthe truth, and in Love & Death they are finallyable to present a chilling and convincing casethat each and every one of these suicides waspreventable -- and in doing so, they call for thiscase to be reopened and properly investigated.
