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 he 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 art imitating life inspired the private eye characters portrayed by Jack
Nicholson in Chinatown and Russell Crowe in LA Confidential.
