Since both the Notorious B.I.G.’s and Tupac Shakur’s deaths, there has been endless fascination with their murders.

LAbyrinth has been adapted into a feature film that will be released in fall 2018, directed by Brad Furman and starring Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker. A movie tie-in edition will be released in September.

LAbyrinth was published to great acclaim from the Boston Globe, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, and others.

Dead Wrong will include the Notorious BIG Estate’s wrongful death suit against the LAPD and City of Los Angeles, which was dismissed without prejudice when the LAPD claimed to be reopening the case (after which nothing has happened). “Without prejudice” means the case can be refiled at any time.

Randall Sullivan will also examine the Los Angeles Times’s reporting on the case, which repeatedly omitted evidence in favor of the most likely theory of who murdered Biggie (a hit ordered by Suge Knight and executed by LAPD officer David Mack and a man named Amir Muhammed), and at one point outed a confidential informant whose evidence supported that theory. The journalist who wrote most of that coverage was later fired, ostensibly as part of routine layoffs.

Sullivan will debunk the self-published book Murder Rap by former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who also misdirects readers against the Mack-Muhammed theory of the murder. The Kading book was the basis for the recent USA Network limited television series Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious BIG.

Additionally, Sullivan will cover the death of Russell Poole, the detective who sought and failed to break the LAPD’s code of silence about the Mack-Muhammed theory, resulting eventually in losing his employment and succumbing to depression and alcoholism.
