This is the horrifying full story of the Manson Family massacres; one in which murder, drugs, sex, mind-control and the Mafia each played their part.
Coming Down Fast is the first book in over 30 years to cover Charles Manson’s rise to notoriety and to bring the story to the present day. It contains never-before-published crime scene photos and shocking new evidence.
A chilling biography written by hard-hitting journalist Simon Wells, it looks at the Manson Family massacres from a different angle. It even goes as far as linking a Mason Family cult member to another murder in London. Fans of true crime – especially the 1974 Manson biography Helter Skelter – must not miss Coming Down Fast.

In the summer of 1969, a set of grisly murders shocked the population of Los Angeles and the rest of the US. Seven people lay senselessly butchered, among them actress Sharon Tait, the beautiful young wife of Roman Polanski, just a month away from the birth of their first child. Thin strands of evidence pointed to a hippyish cult set up in an abandoned ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles, and its delusional, Messianic leader, Charles Manson. Little was known about this would-be rock star and his peculiar 'family' of young acolytes. It was only later, after the sensational court case that ended with six of the cult members being sentenced to death, that the full, horrifying story would emerge: one in which drugs, sex, murder, mind-control, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Mafia, and even the President of America all played their part. Collecting testimony from previous members of the Manson family alongside new evidence linking a cult member to a murder in London, and including never-before-published crime scene photographs, COMING DOWN FAST charts Manson's terrifying rise from petty-criminal drifter to one of the most recognisable icons in criminal history.
