Meet the Author: Local Attorney Bret Peace Talks ‘Actual Malice’

A True Story of Fake News, Institutional Corruption, Gary Condit, and Chandra Levy

On Saturday, April 1, the Independent Voter Project and The City Club of San Diego are hosting a discussion with Actual Malice author and local attorney, Bret Peace.

Actual Malice was written by Peace with the assistance of Condit and his family and tells a story involving the type of compelling characters and bizarre plot twists usually found only in fiction. However, the events recounted in the book are not only true, but were so meticulously documented that it sends readers right back into the heart of the scandal.
