Okay, we are live. Hi, this William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show.

I was going to have two very special guests. One was unfortunately unable to make it. His name is Bert Baer, B-A-R-E-R.

But it's co-authors here. And if you're watching this on my YouTube channels, X, Rumble, Rockfin, you'll see the title of his new book.

It takes place in California.

We're both in California.

The title of the new book is Where Murder Lies, Death and Deception in West Hollywood.

And the author's name is Frank C.

Girardot, Jr., his last name is spelled, G-I-R-A-R-D-O-T. This is not his first book. He's worked on three different books with Bert, but he's also written some other ones. Other titles, I haven't read the books, but I'm familiar with the story. One is called Becoming Clark Rockefeller, Murder, Love, Deception, and the Con Man behind it all, which is an incredible story.

Maybe you can talk about that.

But also, he's written A Taste for Murder.

That seems to be his bestselling book.

It's most popular book, according to what's on Amazon.

Also, he's worked done betrayal.

Sorry, betrayal in blue, the shocking memoir of the scandal that rocked the NYPD.

Another is burned, pyromania, murder, and daughter's timer.

So he is a true crime author, according to his bio.

He's been called the demon dog of true crime by none other than Black Dahlia author James Errorite.

Wow.

Praise for his writing come from authors as various.

Walter Kern and Michael Fleeman.

I've named some of the books that I said.

He has an ability to interview complicated characters like drug, kingpin, Adam Diaz,
