Davis will convince you that in many respects the tumultuous Manson case still deserves its longstanding ‘Trial of the Century’ title.”
Martin Kasindorf, journalist/attorney who covered the Manson trial for Newsweek
Entertaining!
“As an expert on the spot, he entertainingly serves up the bizarre inside story of one of the craziest trials I ever covered.”
Associated Press Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch
Fascinating!
“Highly recommend for anyone who is curious about Manson but knows nothing or those who already follow the case intently!”
Alissa
Captivating!
“Ivor Davis is a brilliant writer and raconteur, and he has increased the stock of my Tomorrow Never Knows podcast with his recent appearance. Ivor covers the Beatles first North American Tour as a near roommate. He also gives an account told from frightening proximity to the Manson Murders. Whether speaking or writing, Ivor is captivating, and his work draws us in as if by one of those large magnets you have to plug in as seen in the movies.”
Bob Wilson, co-creator of the YouTube podcast, “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
