Dominick Dunne Bücher
29. Oktober 1925 – 26. August 2009
Dominick Dunne war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller und investigativer Journalist, dessen Werk sich oft auf die Schnittstelle zwischen High Society und dem Justizsystem konzentrierte. Nach einer Karriere in Hollywood als Produzent und Fernsehpersönlichkeit wandte er sich dem Schreiben zu und schuf scharfsinnige Einblicke in das Leben der Reichen und Berühmten. Seine Erzählungen griffen in die dunkleren Aspekte ihrer Welt und enthüllten die oft verborgenen Machenschaften unter glitzernden Oberflächen. Eine tiefgreifende persönliche Tragödie lenkte seinen Fokus später auf die Komplexität von Gerichtsverfahren und die Suche nach Gerechtigkeit.
