The dust jacket has some wear, chip and soiling and is in a plastic sleeve. József Antal Eszterhás (born November 23, 1944), credited as Joe Eszterhas, is a Hungarian-American writer. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. After an early career as a journalist and editor, he entered the film industry. Eszterhas became a National Book Award nominee for his nonfiction work Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse in 1974. [20] A studio executive who read the book contacted Eszterhas, telling him that it was "very cinematic" and suggested he could be a screenwriter. This motivated him to change careers and start writing scripts. [His first screenwriting credit was for the film F.I.S.T. He co-wrote the script for Flashdance, which became one of the highest grossing films of 1983, and set off a lucrative and prolific run for his career. By the early 1990s, he was known as the highest-paid writer in Hollywood, and noted for his work in the erotic thriller genre. He was paid a then-record $3 million for his script Love Hurts, which was produced as Basic Instinct, and following its success, news outlets reported he earned seven-figure salaries solely on the basis of two-to-four page outlines. Eszterhas' screenwriting career experienced a decline, with films such as Showgirls, Jade, and An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn receiving negative reviews and performing poorly at the box office. He has since authored several books. His publications include American Rhapsody, and two volumes of memoirs: Hollywood Animal, an autobiography, and Crossbearer. Derived from a Kirkus review: A study of several narcotics busts made by the California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement and the Bureau of Dangerous Drugs. The three investigations in question--an endlessly delayed prosecution of the nark murder of unarmed Dirk Dickenson, whose country cabin was descended upon like a Vietnamese hamlet; a futile attempt to concoct a "hippie Mafia" in a non-existent Brotherhood of Love commune in Laguna Beach; and the interlocking crimes of Gerritt Van Raam, field supervisor of the BNE--substantiate the author's claim that narcotics agents are essentially paid goons, perjurious and double-crossing, who systematically obtain illegal search warrants and plant false evidence, blackmail arrested youngsters to make them informers, carry out vendettas not against the Mafia but against the civil-libertarian lawyers who so often have their cases thrown out of court on "echnicalities."
