Memoir

Crystal Hefner reveals the tight control she was under during her years of marriage to the Playboy founder: a 6 PM curfew, 70 employees watching her, bans on nail polish colors, and clear instructions on how she should look. "He had to die for me to leave."

The author reconstructs the 27 terrible seconds that changed his life at 75, and reflects on the past, the future, fate, and death.
