Trust No One: The Glamorous Life and Bizarre Death of Doris Duke by Schwarz, Ted. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781892323170.

The first book written with a member of her personal staff, Trust No One reveals the fascinating and frightening story of golden-girl socialite and heiress Doris Duke. With a fortune estimated at over 3 billion dollars and fabulous houses in Hawaii, Newport, Beverley Hills, and New York City, Doris Duke was one of the richest women in America, if not the world. Heiress to the American Tobacco Company fortune made by her father, James Duke, she took to heart her fathers admonition "Trust no one!". Although she was a fixture on the international social scene and had countless lovers, ranging from celebrity Errol Flynn to Hawaiian beach boys, she remained desperately lonely. After two failed marriages and a notorious scandal, Duke became a semi-recluse whose behavior grew increasingly strange. But nothing in her life could compare with the headlines about her death, which included allegations of murder.
