Explosive new book on the Kennedys by Daily Mail's Maureen Callahan exposes dynasty's darkest secrets, with shocking revelations about the deaths of their wives... and mistresses

An explosive new book by DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan will unmask the Kennedy family's dark and violent secrets – and threatens to tarnish their legacy forever.

The book – titled 'Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed' – will uncover fresh scandal and expose never-before-told details of the dynasty's long history of 'misogyny, murder, and mayhem'.

There is a 'pattern of Kennedy men physically and psychologically abusing women and girls, leaving a trail of ruin and death in each generation's wake,' a blurb reads.

Callahan – who became a New York Times best-seller with her previous book, 'American Predator' – has drawn on years of research to deliver 'a long-overdue reckoning for this fabled family'.

An explosive new book by DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan will unmask the Kennedy family's dark and violent secrets, and threatens to tarnish their legacy forever.

The book will uncover fresh scandal and expose never-before-told details of the Kennedy family's long history of 'misogyny, murder, and mayhem'. (Pictured: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, left, and Marilyn Monroe, right).

'Ask Not' promises to 'lay bare the truth' with particular focus on the suspicious circumstances surrounding Marilyn Monroe's extramarital affairs and her untimely demise, the treatment of Jackie Kennedy, and Carolyn Bessette's death.

New revelations about independent presidential candidate RFK Jr's treatment of his first wife Mary Richardson and the events that led to her suicide will also prove particularly timely.

The book will be serialized by the Mail later this month.
