Under the Rainbow Hardback - 2022

A stolen Hollywood treasure. A sealed FBI affidavit. A former Secret Service agent labeled "the Florida mystery man."

The true story behind the recovery of the world's most famous pair of shoes.

When the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz vanished from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005, the theft ignited a nationwide mystery. Thirteen years later, when the slippers resurfaced, the public believed the case was solved. But the truth behind the investigation has never been fully told-until now.

In Under the Rainbow, author Jeff Keene II conducts exclusive, in-depth interviews with Michael Insabella, a former Secret Service agent whose unexpected involvement in the ruby slippers investigation raised questions the FBI never answered. What begins as a simple lead unravels into a story of secrecy, misrepresentation, and high-stakes image management inside America's most powerful law-enforcement agency.
