I am fully convinced that Howard Hughes was picked up by Melvin. This book was an excellent read. I couldn't put it down. I give it more than 5 stars.

Interesting read! Finally, someone who cared enough to ferret out the truth and put it in writing. I always felt that it was all true. Magneson did it in a fashion that made it a page turner. a must read!!!! Thanks , It restores my faith.

How money and influence came to overcome truth. December 3, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
How Hughes's famous propensity for compartmentalizing his activities, keeping the right hand from knowing what the left was up to, ultimately defeated his wish to leave a portion of his immense fortune to the man who had saved his life. The debacles of the Simpson and Blake murder trials, and now the revelations of this miscarriage of justice, go to prove that given skilled attorneys and unlimited resources truth and justice need not prevail. Retired FBI agent Magnesen's investigative and narrative skills make a compelling case for the legitimacy of "The Mormon Will" and as a titillating aside, the story reveals Hughes's obsession for a certain lady of the evening.

This book was a fascinating read. I thought it was very well written and the author really did his investigative work. I have no doubt that Melvin and the other named people in the will were cheated out of the millions they deserved. You will enjoy this book!!

Congratulations to Gary Magnesen on his book. After reading it I am quite convinced that Howard Hughes' will was NOT a forgery. It would seem that Melvin Dummar's legal team were "in above their heads" and it appears that it cost not only Melvin Dummar but the other named entities in the will their rightful share of his estate. Mr. Magnesen's investigation is definitely very thought provoking - it's a shame he wasn't around when the trial was going on! Fascinating reading.
