First Book In “Hunting” Series Recounts The Relentless Quest For Justice In The Aftermath Of History's Most Sensational Crimes

Charles Manson. This infamous madman is best known as the American cult leader with the pulsing swastika carved low into his forehead, and for serving 47 years of the seven counts of life-sentences he received in various California maximum security prisons for his vicious crimes.

Now, more than seven months after his death, in the first of the "Hunting" series, Hunting Charles Manson: The Quest for Justice in the Days of Helter Skelter (June 5, 2018, Thomas Nelson | ISBN: 9780718092085), dig deeper into the story of the Manson Family as told through the investigative eye of New York Times bestselling author Lis Wiehl with Caitlin Rother.

In Hunting Charles Manson, Wiehl leverages years of experience as both a federal prosecutor and investigative crime reporter, for this page-turning, behind-the-scenes examination of the Manson Family's terrifying acts. She also offers an in-depth look into the rarely discussed yet remarkable tactics and strategies the government used to investigate, surveil, track down, apprehend, prosecute, and sentence these highly dangerous individuals. Examining the social and political context that gave rise to Manson, Wiehl reveals uncanny similarities between the days of Helter Skelter and today's current legal system.

"My Grandfather was a prosecutor in the Western Frontier and went on to become a well-respected jurist. My father was an FBI agent when I was young and went on to become a prosecutor, so I was always coming home to stories of him chasing the bad guys. A passion for law and justice clearly runs through my blood," shares Wiehl. "And this passion is at the core of my fourteen works of fiction, which are all based on cases I've either covered or prosecuted. With my new nonfiction "Hunting" series, I'm blending my breadth of background and experience to hunt down these infamous bad guys, something I truly believe I was born to do."

Through the pages of Hunting Charles Manson, Wiehl introduces new material about the Manson Family and their crimes-material never before uncovered-revealing an exciting new side to this story we thought we already knew. Drawing upon deep archival research and exclusive personal interviews, including unique access to Manson Family parole hearings, Wiehl gives readers a propulsive, page-turning thriller of the crimes and manhunt that mesmerized the nation.
