"A riveting account of what it was like to defend one of the most
notorious serial killers in history"-Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Sam, could you do me a favor?" Thus begins a story that has now
become part of America's true crime hall of fame. It is a gory,
grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel. It is also a David
and Goliath saga-the story of a young lawyer fresh from the Public
Defender's Office whose first client in private practice turns out
to be the worst serial killer in our nation's history. Sam Amirante
had just opened his first law practice when he got a phone call
from his friend John Wayne Gacy, a well-known and well-liked
community figure. Gacy was upset about what he called "police
harassment" and asked Amirante for help. With the police following
his every move in connection with the disappearance of a local
teenager, Gacy eventually gave a drunken, dramatic, early morning
confession-to his new lawyer. Gacy was eventually charged with
murder and Amirante suddenly became the defense attorney for one of
American's most disturbing serial killers. It was his first case.
This new edition of John Wayne Gacy, which contains updated
material about the case that has come to light since the book's
original publication, recounts the gruesome killings and the famous
trial that shocked a nation.
