Description
When Laurel entered her father's strip club at nine years old, she was dazzled by the kaleidoscope of lights, the shimmering silver of the disco ball.
After an injury, Laurel's father, Michael Woods left the California Highway Patrol and took up a new career in high profile adult entertainment, opening the Jet Strip Club and building a successful business with his partner Horace Joseph McKenna Jr. (Big Mac). Their success came quickly, changing both of their lives.
Twelve years, multiple club openings, and millions of dollars later, Mac is found shot to death in his limo outside his ranch and Michael is the prime suspect. For ten years, the case goes unsolved, but Michael remained at the top of the list of suspects the whole time, eventually being arrested and convicted for the murder. Leaving the strip club empire to Laurel to manage, while fighting for her fathers freedom.
In this riveting memoir, Laurel Woods, shares raw memories from her childhood to adulthood exposing how her dad's work and eventual imprisonment shaped her life in unexpected ways.
The case has been the subject of countless documentaries and whodunnit splashes on blogs. But no one knows the whole story … until now.
