MOUTHPIECE: A LIFE IN THE LAW(ISBN=9780767916547) 英文原版 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

From prosecuting (and defending) murderers in the Bronx to

handling the public and private problems of Manhattan’s elite,

Mouthpiece recounts the colorful adventures of New York

City’s ultimate legal operator.

“In the pages before us, the Counselor tells a saga’s worth of

tales of the city. As the saying goes, he’s got a million of

them.” —Tom Wolfe, from his Introduction

Edward Hayes is that unusual combination: the likable lawyer, one

who could have stepped off the stages of Guys and Dolls or

Chicago. Mouthpiece is his story—an irreverent,

entertaining, and revealing look at the practice of law in modern

times and a social and political anatomy of New York City. It

recounts Hayes’s childhood in the tough Irish sections of Queens

and his eventual escape to the University of Virginia and then to

Columbia Law School. Not at all white-shoe-firm material, Hayes

headed to the hair-raising, crime-ridden South Bronx of the

midseventies—first as a homicide prosecutor and then as a defense

attorney seeking to free the same sort of people he formerly had

put in jail.

Tom Wolfe immortalized this setting in The Bonfire of the

Vanities. Ed Hayes was his guide, and he served as the model

for the scrappy defense lawyer Tommy Killian. Eventually, Hayes

moved his practice to Manhattan, using his neighborhood white boy

instincts and connections and the rough-and-tumble techniques

learned in the Bronx on behalf of the rich and powerful and famous.

From a high-stakes legal shootout over the Andy Warhol estate to

working to secure financial justice for the families of the World

Trade Center victims, Hayes has been behind the scenes of how New

York City really operates.

For the tens of millions fascinated by New York’s unique blend of

glitter and grime, of idealism and corruption, of avarice and

ambition, Mouthpiece provides the ultimate close-up of

high-stakes Gotham gamesmanship.

Praise for Mouthpiece

“Ed Hayes has an almost unique ability to treat

‘kings and paupers, one and both the same’; indeed, he has

prosecuted or defended both at one time or another in his career.

Anyone who has seen Eddie in action recognizes that he is as

articulate as he is colorful. His book, Mouthpiece, proves

‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that he is also one of the most

effective lawyers practicing today.”

—Henry S. Schlieff, Chairman & CEO, Court TV

“Eddie Hayes has more excitement in real life than any lawyer in

the movies.”

—Robert DeNiro

“Eddie Hayes walks, talks, and acts like a character created by

Damon Runyon, but he’s even better because he’s the real

thing.”

—William Bratton, former Police Commissioner of Boston and New

York, current Chief of Police, Los Angeles

“Whether it’s his blistering performances in court, or his Savile

Row chalkstripe suits, Ed Hayes has always been a law unto himself.

Half of New York society is in his memoirs—the other half is trying

to stay well out of his sights.”

—Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief, Vogue

“In the battle between good and evil, Ed Hayes is on both sides.

After reading Mouthpiece I don’t know whether to

congratulate him or arrest him.”

—John Timoney, City of Miami Police Chief, former First Deputy

Commissioner, New York City Police Department

 “Thanks to Eddie Hayes, I never got what I deserved.”

—Little Georgie (not his real name)
