Selwyn Raab, an investigative newspaper and television reporter for forty years, covered the Mafia for twenty-five years at The New York Times. More than a newsman, he is something of a crusader, having played an important role exposing fabricated testimony surrounding the conviction of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Raab is also the author of Justice in the Back Room, which was the basis for the legendary Kojak television series, and the co-author of the very successful Mob Lawyer, which shed new light on who killed Jimmy Hoffa and JFK. He lives in New York.
