30 b/w, illus RIGHTEOUSLY FURIOUS TAKEDOWN OF AMERICA'S ROYAL FAMILY: The Kennedy family and their inner circle have captivated the public for decades. We've all heard about their scandals and sexual imbroglios, but somehow the Camelot myth endures. A full accounting--of the family's misdeeds and the price paid by individual women--is long overdue. BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Maureen Callahan's American Predator sold 100K copies across all formats and was an instant New York Times bestseller, boding well for this next project. WELL CONNECTED MEDIA INSIDER: A longtime columnist for the New York Post and now at the Daily Mail, the author has extensive media connections that she can leverage to promote this book. BREAKING NEWS: In unmasking the Kennedys' legacy of cruelty toward women, Ask Not reveals yet-unknown details of abuse within and by the family--some of which is simply jaw-dropping, and all of which involve household names. This is explosive stuff. FILLED WITH MARQUEE NAMES: From Jacqueline Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe, and from RFK and JFK to their notorious sons, Ask Not is teeming with cultural icons whose stories of sordidness and suffering are sure to command attention and interest.

STRONG CATEGORY CROSSOVER: From Three Women to She Said, women-centered narratives and exposés have seen tremendous success recently. The Kennedys, meanwhile, comprise a publishing category unto themselves, with authors from Clint Hill to Bill O'Reilly to Robert Dallek to Chris Matthews to our own James Patterson (not to mention many of the family members) cashing in endlessly on the Camelot mystique. NOT A POLITICAL BOOK: Maureen Callahan is a registered Democrat in addition to being a committed feminist. She believes in many of the principles and priorities that the Kennedys have championed. She aims not to undermine their political accomplishments with this book, but rather to show that their behavior has betrayed their lofty ideals.
