Publisher's Synopsis
Rick Bateman: Brilliance Flawed, is the story of a supremely talented civil litigator who could defend a sex films distributor one day, and advocate for the health and welfare of handicapped children the next. His ability to envision the complete battle plan for a complex legal case, and know exactly when and how to strike his attack, made him the warrior everyone wanted on their side. It is also a cautionary tale of how his obsession for amassing huge sums of money supplanted all other loves in his life and began his fall from grace. Told by the woman who became the "office wife" for this larger than life character, the book is written as a work of fiction based on fact. It includes firsthand accounts from friends and enemies alike of Bateman inciting bar brawls, facing down a Mob kingpin, delighting in numerous love affairs, enjoying the hospitality of Pablo Escobar at his estate in Medillin, Columbia...and more!
