Denial of Justice
Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power, and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History
Ratings1
Average rating5
Why is What’s My Line? TV star and Pulitzer-Prize-nominated investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen one of the most feared journalists in history? Why has her threatened exposure of the truth about the JFK assassination triggered a cover-up by at least four government agencies and resulted in abuse of power at the highest levels? Denial of Justice—written in the spirit of bestselling author Mark Shaw’s gripping true crime murder mystery, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much—tells the inside story of why Kilgallen was such a threat leading up to her unsolved murder in 1965. Shaw includes facts that have never before been published, including eyewitness accounts of the underbelly of Kilgallen’s private life, revealing statements by family members convinced she was murdered, and shocking new information about Jack Ruby’s part in the JFK assassination that only Kilgallen knew about, causing her to be marked for danger. Peppered with additional evidence signaling the potential motives of Kilgallen’s arch enemies J. Edgar Hoover, mobster Carlos Marcello, Frank Sinatra, her husband Richard, and her last lover, Denial of Justice adds the final chapter to the story behind why the famous journalist was killed, with no investigation to follow despite a staged death scene.

As the title states, Dorothy Kilgallen received, and continues to receive, a denial of justice.
I read The Reporter Who Knew Too Much a while back and haven't stopped talking about it since. Reading Denial of Justice, it's added fuel to the fire. I will probably end up repeating sentiments in my Reporter Who Knew Too Much review, but the fact Dorothy Kilgallen is practically unknown today is sickening. And when someone does know her name, it's most likely from a What's My Line? rerun.
A groundbreaking reporter, a brilliant mind as seen on tv and as seen through her writing, a woman who worked her way to the top in male dominated industries without losing her elegance has been almost forgotten... in only 54 years? That in itself is cause for suspicion. This woman was the most famous columnist in America and known internationally. Take a browse through internet archives and you'll see for yourself. How has history so quickly forgotten her while hundreds of other people with minor achievements are still household names? And in the age of feminism, no less! This alone is an injustice, never mind the fact her case is being all but ignored by those in power.
Thankfully, there are people like Mark Shaw who will not settle for the ‘accidental overdose' theory. The extent of his research is true homage to Dorothy. Just as she went above and beyond in her JFK investigation, Mark Shaw is going above and beyond to uncover the truth surrounding Dorothy's death. In this book, he has proposed a handful of scenarios as to what might have happened November 8th, 1965, and with everything uncovered in this book, he's likely solved this ‘forgotten' crime step by step.
Thank you, Mr. Shaw, for your integrity and persistence. As a reader and a great admirer of Ms. Kilgallen, I continue to spread the word about the case as well as direct people to your books. Uncovering who murdered Dorothy Kilgallen is one of the keys to solving the mystery of JFK's assassination point blank.
“Justice is a big rug. When you pull it out from under one man, a lot of others fall too.” - Dorothy Kilgallen
