EXCERPT FROM A PRESS RELEASE ABOUT A BOOK WE WON’T BE REVIEWING
for DEAD WOMEN TELL NO TALES: WHO PLANNED THE MURDER OF THE WITNESS IN THE KOBE BRYANT RAPE CASE – AN EXPOSE´ by Lt. Patrick Graber:
“Part memoir detailing his days spent in service guarding the president of an African nation and Swiss black ops trooper, part graphic repository of his time with Kobe, DEAD WOMEN TELL NO TALES is an absolute page-turner. It gives insight into the basketball star’s most intimate surroundings, replete with sex, lies, and drugs. DEAD WOMEN TELL NO TALES is available through Kobe-Rape.com … and any fine bookseller. ‘The account of Kobe participating in orgies and the description of the surroundings is accurate. I attended a few of those parties myself…’ –Jondell R. Montgomery, Long Beach, 2006″
