I the People: How Marvin Zindler Busted the Best Little Whorehouse in TexasBy William HenleyI the People details the life of one of Texas's many colorful characters, Marvin Zindler. Gary Taylor follows thisTexas original as his investigative work and related media coverage results in the demise of a Texas institution known worldwide -- the Best Little Whorehouse that ever graced a Broadway stage. This rich memoir and historical examination follows in the footsteps of Taylor's earlier award-winning work, Luggage by Kroger -- a true life crime thriller. Anyone interested in an understanding of the storied past of the Lone Star State will not want to miss this one. But be careful. A vision of the yellow psyche of Texas may appear.

"The was the one, great festering, frustrating sore on the face of law enforcement in Texas." The year was 1973. The State of Texas had just elected a new reform-minded governor and attorney general. And 's ABC-TV affiliate station at Channel 13 had just launched a new consumer-oriented investigative feature by hiring flamboyant former lawman Marvin Zindler to seize the spotlight. The roads from those disparate events crossed quickly in dramatic fashion to national acclaim in the Texas Hill Country village of La Grange, which had harbored the country's longest continually operating bordello--a little place known as the Chicken Ranch and beloved to generations of Texas school boys. When Zindler's sensational TV expose forced the Chicken Ranch to close, it triggered a national controversy that raged for years, highlighted by the creation of a successful Broadway musical called The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The movie version starred Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton in the fictionalized account that boiled the story down to a basic theme still used in its marketing pitch: "Texas madam Miss Mona and her sheriff boyfriend try to save her chicken ranch from a TV muckraker." But lost amid the romanticized singing and the dancing and the nostalgic pining of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" lies an authentic true crime history yarn just as entertaining and as much a part of the Lone Star State's many fabled legends. In "I, the People," veteran Houston journalist and author Gary Taylor recreates the real story behind the closing of the Chicken Ranch and explains the forces that unleashed TV icon Marvin Zindler upon the national scene.

The famed film "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" had its roots in reality, but its charm wears thin when it has connections to organized crime.nbsp;For those who want the true story behind the story, "I, the People" is well worth considering.---Midwest Book , April 2012Taylor has a wonderful eye for character, and the Chicken Ranch story is full of them. This book is a fascinating look at characters from an era when Texas transitioned itself from the Wild West to civilization. I highly recommend I The People.--POD People, June 2012Engaging readers with a dose of reality blended with a dash of wicked humor, Gary Taylor makes this 100-page book a difficult one to put down. You've just gotta read to understand what I'm talking about when I say, "Only in Texas!"--Kim Cantrell at True Crime Zine, July, 2012In "I, the People: How Marvin Zindler Busted the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," author Gary Taylor writes a work of non-fiction that tells the story of the Texas political climate in the 1970s and the Houston police officer, turned TV star, who shut down the famed Chicken Ranch when no one else could. --Reader Views, June 2012About the AuthorGary Taylor is a veteran award-winning journalist who has covered crime, courts and legal affairs for newspapers and magazines since 1969.
