The True Story Of Howard Hughes In Las Vegas

I WAS A VICTIM OF THE BIGGEST SCAM IN PUBLISHING HISTORY; CLIFFORD IRVING'S HOAX.This book is based on my interviews for The New York Times with Robert Maheu, the man who ran Howard Hughes' Las Vegas Empire for 17 years at a salary of $10,000 a week. There were international book right sales and world wide syndication contracts. The Book of the Month Club was calling. But all came to a stop when Clifford Irving's bogus book was announced. Irving gave back almost a million dollars and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison; his wife was sentenced to two years in Switzerland. And my book of 17 secret years of Howard Hughes in Las Vegas was cast aside.Now Howard Hughes is more famous than ever because of movies such as the Aviator. And Richard Gere's movie HOAX is becoming a hit.'œSo I now bring you my book on one of the greatest men who ever lived from my recorded interviews with Howard Hughes' Robert Maheu. Included in this book is the last 2.5 hour recorded interview with Howard Hughes.' RL Ron Laytner has long been known as one the most widely syndicated photojournalists of modern times.
