Publisher Description
“A time capsule of adventuresome sleuthing [that] traces the contours of U. S. political history.” —The Washington Post The Los Angeles Times once called Terry Lenzner “one of the most powerful and dreaded private investigators in the world.” Since graduating from Harvard Law School, Lenzner has investigated the infamous murder of three civil rights workers that inspired Mississippi Burning, prosecuted organized crime in New York, followed the money trail that led to the Watergate burglary, helped identify the Unabomber, investigated the circumstances of Princess Diana’s death, and worked with President Clinton’s defense team during the impeachment hearings. In The Investigator, Lenzner reflects upon his remarkable fifty-year career, sharing anecdotes of scandal and intrigue, lessons in investigative methods, and an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at some of the most talked about media stories and events of our time.

“One of Washington’smost in-the-know private eyes spills the beans in this canny memoir…The truthLenzner unveils, in part through shrewd thumbnails of everyone from John Deanto Kenneth Starr, is more about character and motive—the arrogant delusionsthat spawn and sustain malfeasance, and the resentments and idealism that spurinformants and whistleblowers. The result is a low-key but absorbing study ofthe hidden impulses behind corruption and scandal.”
