A New York Times best-selling author's next novel about the life and times of doomed music legend Whitney Houston and her equally troubled young daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, will soon be released. 

Written by investigative journalist Ian Halperin, "Whitney & Bobbi Kristina: The Deadly Price of Fame" is set to hit bookstores on June 9, according to New Jersey Advance Media. Halperin previously wrote the best-seller "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson" in 2009.

In promos advancing release of the tome, Galley Books assures "complicated dynamics" involving the pair will be explored through discussions with family members and friends of the Newark-born Houston.

The book will also revisit Houston's meteoric rise to fame and power while documenting her much heralded downfall. Houston's lifeless body was pulled from a Beverly Hills hotel room bathtub a little more than three years ago. Authorities later revealed she had drugs in her system at the time of her death.

Earlier this year, 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina suffered an eerily similar fate when she was found unresponsive in a tub full of water at the Georgia home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon. She has remained unconscious and largely in a medically induced coma since being rushed to an area hospital in late January.

Police have since launched a criminal investigation surrounding the circumstances of her injuries after doctors discovered several other unexplained bruises on her body. TMZ has reported the probe targets Gordon as a primary suspect. Earlier this month, an Atlanta judge placed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians over her.

Halperin's previous works include "Celine Dion: Behind the Fairytale," "Fire and Rain: The James Taylor Story" and "Hollywood Undercover."

He has also coauthored two Kurt Cobain books with Max Wallace, both of which chronicle the Nirvana lead singer's 1994 gun-inflicted suicide.
