About This Item
Boston:: Little Brown,, (1991). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The story of a the private eye considered best in the business (and one of the most controversial) by his peers by a writer who, in the mid-70s, worked as an investigator for him. "The bug in the martini olive was a tiny wireless transmitter (with a toothpick as its antenna) that Lipset displayed before a 1965 Senate subcommittee on eavesdropping. Lipset has opened his case files, meticulously kept for 30 years, to Holt. He worked as an investigator for Angela Davis, Huey Newton, the San Quentin Six, and the Soledad Brothers, and was security advisor to the Black Panthers, the United Farm Workers, and the American Indian Movement. Lest he be accused of idealism, other clients included Jim Jones of the People's Temple, Chuck Dederich of Synanon, Werner Erhard of est, the Hare Krishna Society, and the Reverend Moon's Unification Church. Unlike many fictional detectives, Lipset does not care whether the people hiring him are right or wrong, guilty or innocent." (Kirkus) viii, 311 pp.
