Hail to the Dragon Slayer
Hail to the Dragon Slayer, Arthur A. “Buddy” Lemann, III’s highly anticipated memoir, chronicles some of his most compelling and publicized clients and cases from alleged Mafia Don Carlos Marcello to Dino Cinel, a former priest involved in a pornography scandal. Lemann adds the picturesque backdrop of a lovingly detailed account of his childhood in rural South Louisiana to an entertaining, sometimes disturbingly funny true crime narrative. Hail to the Dragon Slayer will appeal to lawyers and people in law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice, fans of true crime and pulp fiction, persons interested in the far-flung reaches of the Jewish diaspora, and cognoscenti of the Southern literary tradition.
