The Killing of Tupac Shakur is a biographical, true crime account by American journalist and author Cathy Scott of the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. The book made news upon its September 1997 release, on the first anniversary of Shakur's death, because of an autopsy photo included in its pages.[1] It was the first book to be released covering the rapper's death. The book was reprinted in the UK by Plexus Publishing[2] and in Poland by Kagra.[3] Coverage of the autopsy photo, taken of Shakur's body on a gurney in the coroner's examining room, catapulted the book onto the Los Angeles Times bestseller list.[4] New editions of the book were released in 2002 and 2014.[5]
