UNMASKED: THE FINAL YEARS OF MICHAEL JACKSON
Book ID/图书代码： 09837009B30521
English Summary/英文概要： In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigations into Jackson’s failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Friends and associates paint a tragic picture of the last years and days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London’s 02 Arena in July 2009. These shows would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisors knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. Why did it happen this way? After an intense five year investigation, New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin uncovers the real story of Michael Jackson’s final years, a suspenseful and surprising thriller.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 早在2008年12月作者便語出驚人向大眾宣告Michael Jackson將只剩下6個月的生命，此話一出，還造成媒體大篇幅報導。6個月後，流行天王Michael真的離我們而去了。
不論最後驗屍報告如何，作者認為Michael的死因多半來自於人性的貪婪。在Michael最後一年，作者發現其實他的身體及財務狀況已經非常糟糕，但他仍試圖在今年七月倫敦所舉辦的演唱會上扳回劣勢，但是最後事實還是以悲劇收場。
作者在經過五年詳密的調查後，將在本書中為世人揭開Michael生前最不為人知的秘辛，並回答我們共同的疑惑，究竟是Michael是怎樣的人？(VL)
