Overview
"Double Life is a remarkable feat of investigative reporting about one of the most tragic and baffling crimes ever to shock American society. In November 1992, Sol Wachtler, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, was surrounded by FBI agents, handcuffed, and charged with extortion. Wachtler had been harassing the former lover who had spurned him - Joy Silverman, a beautiful socialite and a member of the same powerful family whose fortune and influence had given them both considerable, if different, advantages. The sixty-two-year-old married judge, a father of four, had led an apparently unblemished life until he vented his rage at Joy in a torrent of obscene letters and phone calls - and threatened her young daughter as well." "Who was this man, a judge appointed by Governor Cuomo, hailed as the "great white Jewish hope," and touted as a possible Republican candidate for president? Who was this voluptuous Park Avenue socialite, a favored guest at the Bush White House, who gave her lover a Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry catalogue? What part did she play in reducing an esteemed public servant to a desperate suitor who made her the target of his fatal attraction? From hundreds of interviews and exclusive sources, acclaimed author Linda Wolfe constructs a fascinating saga of a wealthy and politically connected family, and an absorbing portrait of a man driven to his downfall by sexual obsession."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
