A collection of newspaper stories by award-winning Los Angeles
Times reporter Christopher Goffard-including "Dirty John," the
basis for the hit podcast and the upcoming Bravo scripted series
starring Connie Britton and Eric Bana. Since its release in fall
2017, the "Dirty John" podcast-about a conman who terrorizes a
Southern California family-has been downloaded more than 20 million
times, and will soon premiere as a scripted drama on Bravo starring
Connie Britton and Eric Bana. The story, which also ran as a print
series in the Los Angeles Times, wasn't unfamiliar terrain to its
writer, Christopher Goffard. Over two decades at newspapers from
Florida to California, Goffard has reported probingly on the
shadowy, unseen corners of society. This book gathers together for
the first time "Dirty John" and the rest of his very best work.
"The $40 Lawyer" provides an inside account of a young public
defender's rookie year in the legal trenches. "Framed" offers an
unblinking chronicle of suburban mayhem (and is currently being
developed by Netflix as a film starring Julia Roberts). A man
wrongly imprisoned for rape, train-riding runaways in love, a
Syrian mother forced to leave her children in order to save them, a
boy who grows up to become a cop as a way of honoring his murdered
sister, another boy who struggles with the knowledge that his
father is on death row: these stories reveal the complexities of
human nature, showing people at both their most courageous and
their most flawed. Goffard shared in the Los Angeles Times'
Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2011 and has twice been a
Pulitzer finalist for feature writing. This collection-a must-read
for fans of both true-crime and first-rate narrative
nonfiction-underscores his reputation as one of today's most
original journalistic voices.
