Collateral Damage: The Mysterious Deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen, and the Ties that Bind Them to Robert Kennedy and the JFK Assassination Free Audiobook Download by Mark Shaw

Collateral Damage is a political thriller that connects the mysterious deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen, two women who died tragically around the same time period. The main protagonist of the book is Dr. Robert Emmet Kennedy, the son of President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie, who tries to find out why they were killed while JFK was assassinated in 1963.

This audiobook tells the story of two young women who died mysteriously and were initially linked to the JFK assassination. The first, Marilyn Monroe, was said to have been murdered by a drug-addicted "hanger-on" named Bobby Kennedy. They also believed that Dorothy Kilgallen was involved in an affair with Robert Kennedy just before her death.

The lives of Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen seemed to be worlds apart. When tragedy struck, they were swept up in a tragic whirlwind that led to their deaths. Their stories are linked by multiple threads of intrigue and conspiracy. These two women came from two different worlds. They were stars who had both fallen under the grasp of the Kennedy family's shadowy power, but the two women couldn't have been more different. While Monroe was a fresh-faced, young ingénue, Dorothy Kilgallen was an experienced journalist with a nose for a big story.

That's just the beginning. There is much more that could be said about these two women and their lives and deaths, but let's stick with the idea of how they were connected. The first woman was Marilyn Monroe. She was also Robert Kennedy's wife, his closest friend and confidant, his lover. He adored her, she loved him--even though he was married with children to another woman. As their relationship grew, so did her celebrity status and fame--at least for a few years when she was still alive. Marilyn became the most photographed woman in America before she died from an overdose of barbiturates in 1962.

It's the night of November 22nd, 1968, and Marilyn Monroe and her friend Dorothy Kilgallen are both appearing on The Joey Bishop show at the same time. Marilyn is watching the show from a nightclub while Kilgallen is sitting backstage in a dressing room waiting to go on. That night, Kilgallen would have quite a few "coincidental" encounters with people who also happened to be killed that day--Robert Kennedy being one of them.

Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen both died mysteriously while they were in the public eye. In the book, Mark Shaw explores the lives of these two women and how their lives intersected with Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr's ill-fated presidential campaigns. The author also delves into what might have happened to them, as well as their possible connection to the JFK assassination.
