Biography
Robert Tanenbaum was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended the University of California and received his law degree from Boalt Hall School of Law. Tanenbaum is a legal expert and media commentator. He conducts continuing legal education seminars for practicing lawyers in California, New York, and Pennsylvania.[1][2]
He has been homicide bureau chief for the New York District Attorney's Office; he has never lost a felony case. From 1976 to 1978 he served as a Deputy Chief Counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations to investigate the John F. Kennedy assassination and the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination, a position from which he resigned because he felt the committee was creating "false history".[2] He is also a former two-term Mayor of Beverly Hills, having served on the Beverly Hills City Council from 1986 to 1994. In 1988 he appeared in the documentary The Men Who Killed Kennedy. He has taught Advanced Criminal Procedure at the University of California at Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law.
In all but Tanenbaum's last seven novels, he credits Michael Gruber, his cousin, as a collaborator, and Gruber is generally considered as being Tanenbaum's ghostwriter.[3] Wendy Walker and Espey Jackson are acknowledged in Malice.
