Vraždy u Menendezových - Šokující a dosud nevyprávěný příběh o rodině Menendezových a vraždách, které ohromily Ameriku i svět (2026)

This expanded and updated true-crime book examines the Menendez case, the disturbing story behind the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. It begins with a successful entertainment-industry manager earning two million dollars a year, his former beauty-queen wife and their two sons, who were expected to have brilliant futures. Behind this apparently perfect family facade lay a dark secret. The Menendez family has fascinated the American public since 1989, when José and Kitty Menendez were murdered on a quiet Sunday evening in Beverly Hills. The case became a defining crime story, and when the brothers’ first trial began in July 1993, much of America viewed Lyle and Erik as merely two greedy rich kids who had killed their loving parents. What really happened remained hidden for many years. This book is the culmination of more than thirty years of tireless journalistic work by Robert Rand, who looks beneath the surface and presents suppressed and groundbreaking information, including the harrowing history of alleged child abuse and sexual abuse within the Menendez family across several generations. The expanded edition also includes new revelations linking the 1980s boy band Menudo to the Menendez family, an account of Erik and Lyle Menendez’s moving reunion after many years, and a surprising portrait of the brothers today. Although they have spent decades in prison after being sentenced to life without parole, Rand’s revelations offer them hope that their case may be reopened.
