NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--May 1, 2000

Cliff Street Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announces that they will publish MURDER IN SPOKANE, to be written by New York Times bestselling author and former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman. MURDER IN SPOKANE will tell the story surrounding suspected serial killer Robert L. Yates Jr., and the investigation into the murders of as many as eighteen Spokane area women. Fuhrman has been researching the book for over a year and will reveal never-before-released information on the crime, including whether the recent arrest of Yates would have come sooner had the victims not been drug addicts or prostitutes.

Fuhrman's most recent book, Murder in Greenwich, a New York Times bestseller, re-examined the death of Greenwich teen Martha Moxley, which took place twenty-five years ago. The book spurred the state of Connecticut to convene a special grand jury for the Moxley case, which led to the arrest of Michael Skakel. In MURDER IN SPOKANE, Fuhrman will examine the evidence, witness statements, suspect profiles, and how the investigation was handled by authorities.

"Mark Fuhrman has been hard at work on MURDER IN SPOKANE for eighteen months. He was obsessed by the fact that a serial killer was on the loose in Spokane. Using his remarkable detective skills and experience, he has recreated the investigation that led to the arrest of a suspect who might be responsible for as many as twenty-four women's deaths. There will be many surprises and revelations that only a book by Fuhrman could contain," said Diane Reverand, Publisher of Cliff Street Books and Vice President of HarperCollins Publishers.

Mark Fuhrman is the author of two New York Times bestselling books -- Murder in Brentwood and Murder in Greenwich. A publication date has yet to be set for MURDER IN SPOKANE.
