Orgies, Rape, and Murder...Kobe-StyleNew best-selling exposé gives first-hand account of Kobe Bryant's very personal - and very sick - lifestyle before the infamous rape trial - as well as fascinating insight to the life of a celebrity bodyguard.
Though completely overexposed during his stratospheric rise to NBA fame and subsequent rape trial in Colorado, anyone who thought they knew the real Kobe Bryant had better look again.
In his new shocking and absolutely graphic exposé, Bryant's former bodyguard and Swiss national Lt. Patrick Graber is sending shockwaves through the sports world.
Dead Women Tell No Tales is Graber's unvarnished account of his time with Bryant, first as a discreet bodyguard, then as the fall guy who was accused - then cleared - of planning the murder of the witness in Bryant's rape case.
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 superstar's most intimate surroundings, clearly showing how Bryant's immoral behavior inevitably culminated in a felony charge that could have sent him behind bars for life.
Those who are in the know praise Dead Women Tell No Tales and Lt. Patrick Graber:
"The account of Kobe participating in orgies and the description of the surroundings is accurate. I attended few of those parties myself..." --Jondell R. Montgomery, Long Beach, 2006
"Lt Patrick Graber has displayed a standard of professionalism, integrity, and devotion to our country that few have equaled and none have excelled...His honor, his loyalty, and his sense of fair play...have made him an ally whom the SPDF could rely on. He is an unusually fine man." --Col. Claude Vidot, Seychelles Peoples Defense Forces, Seychelles, 2000
