When crime writer Phillip Margolin is called in to write the biography of a notorious criminal, he has no idea what he's in for. The man, known as the Spider, is a slippery figure, difficult to track down and even harder to interview. But Margolin is determined to get the story.

The more he digs into the Spider's past, the more Margolin realizes that this criminal is also a victim. The Spider was once a rising star in the criminal underworld, but he was undone by his own greed. Now, years after his arrest, the Spider is living in obscurity and poverty, desperately trying to make amends.

Margolin is drawn to the Spider, and as he gets to know him, he begins to understand the man behind the crime. In the end, Margolin is not only the author of the Spider's biography, but also his friend.; 8vo; 344 pages; Signed by Author.
