Berkley to Release Updated Book on Robert Durst
Berkley Books announced the re-release of A Deadly Secret: The Bizarre and Chilling Story of Robert Durst by Matt Birkbeck. The 2002 book, an in-depth look into the criminal investigation of Durst, the subject of HBO’s hit docu-series The Jinx, will be published in trade paperback on April 14 (the e-book is available now).
The new edition will include two chapters added in 2012, and a new author’s note highlighting the recent developments in Durst's case.
According to Berkley, "A Deadly Secret details the search for Durst’s first wife, medical student Kathie Durst, who went missing in 1982. Eighteen years later, a New York State police investigator re-opened the probe into Kathie’s disappearance. Birkbeck, who covered the investigation for People magazine and Reader’s Digest, is the only reporter to access Durst’s NYPD files and also broke the news about other potential Durst victims."
