For 20 years he commuted between New York and Europe as a political and cultural columnist for British newspapers. He now lives with his partner John Holm in a tiny village in the forests of rural Portugal. He has published ten books, and is proud of some of them: \u003ci\u003eThe Movie Brats\u003c\/i\u003e, written with Lynda Myles, which was the first serious study of what the Scorsese generation did to Hollywood; \u003ci\u003eKing Over The Water\u003c\/i\u003e, which exposed the machinations of the Duke of Windsor in the wartime Bahamas; \u003ci\u003eMaximum City\u003c\/i\u003e, the biography of New York which set out to find the roots and history of the city's magic; \u003ci\u003eThe Drowning Room\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel on the first whore of New York in its wild Dutch days; and, of course, \u003ci\u003eTaking Lives.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380152402175,"sku":"9780140141498","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780140141498_s600x595.jpg?v=1777308671","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780140141498","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
