Netflix adapted the books for the hit documentary "Girl in the Picture," for which he was executive producer. He also wrote THE QUIET DON (Berkley/Penguin 2013), which tells the remarkable story of Mafia kingpin Russell Bufalino, who built a vast, organized crime empire whose power and influence reached the highest levels of government. Once described by a U.S. Senate subcommittee as "one of the most ruthless and powerful leaders of the Mafia in the United States," Bufalino's legacy left a culture of corruption that continues to this day. The critically acclaimed DECONSTRUCTING SAMMY: MUSIC, MONEY, MADNESS and the MOB (Amistad/Harper Collins 2008), tells the riveting story of Sammy Davis Jr. and the efforts to resolve his millions in debts and restore his legacy following his death in 1990. The New York Times Book Review called Deconstructing Sammy "Gripping" and "Sensational," and the Los Angeles Times called it "Epic." And his book A DEADLY SECRET (Berkley/Putnam 2002 and 2015), explores the investigation into Robert Durst, the heir to a New York real estate fortune accused of killing his wife and two others. Lifetime TV adapted the book for its movie "The Lost Wife of Robert Durst," aired in November 2017. Birkbeck also coauthored Till Death Do Us Part (Atria/Simon and Schuster) with Dr. Robi Ludwig in 2006. See less
