"The New York Times" bestselling author who investigated the Zodiac
case now uncovers a real-life mystery of murder, body doubles, and
obsession. Marli Renfro was a model who played a part in one of the
most iconic scenes in American movies - as Janet Leigh's nude body
double in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" - only to fade into
obscurity, a footnote in Hollywood history. It wasn't until 1988
that Marli Renfro made news again - raped and murdered by a serial
killer with a fetish for the classic Hitchcock shocker. But as
Graysmith investigated Marli's story, a nagging doubt entered his
mind. What if Marli was still alive? What if another woman had been
murdered in her place? And if Marli was still alive, would he ever
find her? The line between art and reality is blurred in this
astonishing coda to one of the most memorable screen murders of all
time, and to a real-life crime that one man was determined to
solve.
