Author | Scott Leckie

If they killed Marilyn, they killed him too...

He was Hoover’s golden boy… until he wasn’t. A.B. Leckie slipped from Bureau legend to shadowy ghost, tangled in Monroe’s final days, Cold War paranoia, and secrets buried deep.

This is the story of my grandfather, Arthur Bernard Leckie, a shrewd little sleuth who might have known just enough to get him killed.

“A deeply personal dive into Cold War intrigue and family secrets, Shrewd Little Sleuth unravels an extraordinary life lived in the shadows of Hoover, Hollywood and history itself..”

– Reed Brody
(Author, To Catch a Dictator)

“...A rare and masterful reveal of American History... an intensely personal recounting of the Hoover-era FBI and the personal relationships driving public policy.”

– Skye Fitzgerald
(Filmmaker, 2x Academy® Award nominee)
