  • "Sam, could you do me a favor?" Thus begins a story that has now become part of America s true crime hall of fame. It is a gory, grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel. It is also a David and Goliath saga the story of a young lawyer fresh from the Public Defender s Office whose first client in private practice turns out to be the worst serial killer in our nation s history. Sam Amirante had just opened his first law practice when he got a phone call from his friend John Wayne Gacy, a well-known and well-liked community figure. Gacy was upset about what he called police harassment and asked Amirante for help. With the police following his every move in connection with the disappearance of a local teenager, Gacy eventually gives a drunken, dramatic, early morning confession to his new lawyer. Gacy is eventually charged with murder and Amirante suddenly becomes the defense attorney for one of American s most disturbing serial killers. It is his first case. This is a gripping narrative that reenacts the gruesome killings and the famous trial that shocked a nation.
