Description
Sex, Money and Murder in 1980s LA and New York. In 1987, a heroin addict murdered an Emmy Award-winning choreographer in Manhattan, followed by a wealthy LA surgeon and his teenaged son being targeted. Two years later, an out-of-work redneck flew to London with cyanide to poison three members of a male exotic dance review. The crimes seemed unrelated, but they were all linked to Steve Banerjee, founder and owner of the smash LA nightclub, Chippendales. In the post-pill, pre-AIDS sex-filled LA club scene of the 1980s, celebrities, desperate housewives, and wild bachelorettes converged on one place: Chippendales. Behind this vibrant nightlife was a complex web of arson, the Mob, and murder. This book tells the fascinating story behind an 8-part Hulu/Twentieth Century Fox TV series, as well as several other shows. Published in 2014, Deadly Dance is a true crime account that sheds light on the dark events surrounding Chippendales and its founder Steve Banerjee.
