Since Dorothy\u2019s\u00a0 town house was on E. 68th Street, they will dedicate the corner of E. 68th Street and Park Avenue as \u201cDorothy Kilgallen Way.\u201d A ceremony will take place and the public is invited, so please attend if at all possible. Mr. Holden, this author and Gianni Russo, who knew Kilgallen, among others, will speak about Kilgallen\u2019s remarkable career.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; width: 575px; height: 490px; margin: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/c5c2513295943863f07b90492\/images\/f2cec0b6-d95c-0482-56bc-8eab09467169.png\" width=\"575\" height=\"490\" data-file-id=\"6966568\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fsZw3UxEies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recent Interview of Mr. Holden and this author<br \/>\ndiscussing Dorothy Tribute and New Book<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>On December 2, 2025, Mark Shaw\u2019s latest book:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-end=\"704\" data-start=\"97\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><em>Abuse of Power<\/em><\/strong>: Connecting Robert Kennedy&#8217;s Assassination with the Murders of JFK and Dorothy Kilgallen Exposes Who Was Responsible and Why Sirhan Sirhan Deserves a New Trial, will be released.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-end=\"704\" data-start=\"97\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47imPId\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; width: 200px; height: 299px; margin: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/c5c2513295943863f07b90492\/images\/cecbfe41-e87f-7f74-ce97-b890095b85b0.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"299\" data-file-id=\"6966533\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"null\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-end=\"704\" data-start=\"97\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">\u201cTrue crime murder mystery at its best. <em><strong>Abuse of Powe<\/strong><\/em>r must be read.&#8221; &#8211;Nick Pileggi, acclaimed author of Wise Guy (movie Good fellas) and Casino<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">What&#8217;s New in the Book?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">On December 15, 1985, powerful mafia don Carlos Marcello, referring to JFK\u2019s death, told a fellow Texas prison inmate that, \u201cYeah, I had the son of a bitch killed. I\u2019m glad I did. I\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t have done it myself.\u201d This shocking transcript of an audio-taped confession, based on the motive of revenge per FBI files discovered by this author in the 2025 JFK Assassination Records Release, changes everything about not only the president\u2019s assassination but also reveals for the first time Marcello\u2019s complicity in the deaths of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen in 1965 and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy three years later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial; width: 600px; height: 133px; margin: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/c5c2513295943863f07b90492\/images\/ee4fbfd8-46e8-a3dd-6c9a-d3b0329c827f.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"133\" data-file-id=\"6966696\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The credible admission by Marcello validates fifteen years of research by this author in his last four books and, in the new book, true crime meets murder mystery in this groundbreaking historical expos\u00e9. Regarding Sirhan Sirhan, a never-before-published-first-hand account connecting Sirhan to the mafia don proves he was not accountable for RFK\u2019s death and thus deserves a retrial, one that could rock the nation\u2019s perception of historical truth.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it appears likely that Marcello&#8217;s confession and the shocking RFK assassination evidence including the Sirhan revelations are being hidden from the public by the government. More about this disturbing state of affairs is included in Abuse of Power.<\/p>\n<p>Without question, Abuse of Power, this author\u2019s latest contribution to history, will stand the test of time as the definitive source for those seeking logical, primary source accounts of the life and times, and the deaths of three prominent<br \/>\nAmerican icons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"mc-toc-title\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><a title=\"Pre Orders Available Here\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47imPId\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pre Orders Available Here<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Dorothy Kilgallen to be Honored by New York City Council Dorothy Kilgallen to be Honored by New York City Council New York City councilman Robert Holden has announced that the City Council is co-naming a street in honor of celebrated &#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/newsletter-october-2025\/\">Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[11,9,4,10,12],"class_list":["post-1081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-dorothy-killgallen","tag-jfk","tag-jfk-assassination","tag-jfk-assassination-documents","tag-murder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1081"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1091,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions\/1091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markshawbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
