2002810<p>New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 2002. First Edition First Printing. SIGNED by Lawrence Schiller on the title page under which the word "and" has been written and then marked through. Based on research and interviews by Lawrence Schiller and Norman Mailer the book presents a psychological portrait of FBI agent Robert P. Hanssen who sold classified information to the KGB and its successor organization over more than 20 years. Hanssen was captured in 2001 and is serving multiple life sentences in a Colorado prison. The book is written as a novel with imagined dialogue. Schiller and Mailer were unable to interview Hanssen who was already a guest of U.S. taxpayers. Nonetheless it's a fascinating attempt to get into the mind of an American traitor especially through the device of having Hanssen talk to himself while looking at a mirror. 8vo. xv 317 pages. Near Fine with a minuscule mark to the upper board's right edge and a bump to its lower right corner in a Fine dust jacket. SCARCE signed. <br /><br />The backstory to this book is unusual and a bit convoluted. In Schiller's Author's Note he says he asked Mailer to write a screenplay for a CBS Television miniseries that Schiller would produce and direct. As Mailer was finishing the first draft of the screenplay Schiller decided to write the present book using Mailer's draft as the foundation. Schiller says he supplemented Mailer's draft with his own research. The book appeared in 2002 as did the series on CBS. The series starred William Hurt as Hanssen Mary-Louise Parker as his wife Peter Boyle as his father and David Strathairn as his best friend.</p><p>In addition to this book Schiller and Mailer also collaborated on "The Executioner's Song" and "Oswald's Tale."</p> HarperCollins Publishers Inc.

His endless client list included Meyer Lansky Nick Civella Anthony Spilotro Frank Rosenthal Jimmy Chagra Natale Richichi Nicky Scarfo and Vinny Ferrara along with many others. Though no further connection between Goodman and the Mafia has ever been proved the famous litigator has often been accused of being more than just a mouthpiece for organized crime. Was Oscar Goodman only what he claims an attorney who defended his clients based on the simple principle that they too have constitutional rights And if so how did he manage to mingle with the mob for decades without becoming part of it After scores of unlikely courtroom victories Goodman pulled off an even more unlikely career change. Twice elected mayor of Las Vegas he went from legal spokesman for the most notorious crime figures of our era to political spokesman for the most notorious city in the country.".
