The House of Gucci [Movie Tie-in]: A True Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed: A Summer Beach Read

The sensational true story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed that shook the Gucci dynasty. The book opens on March 27, 1995, with the execution-style murder of Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, who was ambushed and slain on the steps to his Milan office. Two years later, his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani—dubbed 'The Black Widow' by the press—was arrested and eventually sentenced to 29 years in prison for arranging his murder. The narrative chronicles the rise, near-fall, and subsequent resurgence of the Gucci fashion house, exploring the intense family feuds, high finance, and personal tragedy that plagued one of the world's most iconic luxury-goods empires. It raises questions about Patrizia's motive: was it his wildly out-of-control spending, his plans to marry his mistress, or is there a chance she didn't do it at all? The book is a compelling account of high fashion, high finance, and heart-rending personal tragedy, now a major motion picture source.
