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.

Killer Art: Art That Has Maimed, Killed or Caused General Destruction Through the Centuries is a lavishly illustrated, deliciously offbeat look at dozens of visual and performing artists throughout history whose lives and works have resulted in untold mayhem for themselves, their loved ones, and even innocent bystanders. Most artists strive to create new and often bizarre techniques to make their art different. But in the process, some people get hurt. Fascinating, often shocking, Killer Art offers a surreal but painstakingly researched illustration of the darker side of artists and their sometimes dysfunctional world.
