内容简介:
From prosecuting (and defending) murderers in the Bronx to
handling the public and private problems of Manhattan’s elite,
Mouthpiece recounts the colorful adventures of New York
City’s ultimate legal operator.
“In the pages before us, the Counselor tells a saga’s worth of
tales of the city. As the saying goes, he’s got a million of
them.” —Tom Wolfe, from his Introduction
Edward Hayes is that unusual combination: the likable lawyer, one
who could have stepped off the stages of Guys and Dolls or
Chicago. Mouthpiece is his story—an irreverent,
entertaining, and revealing look at the practice of law in modern
times and a social and political anatomy of New York City. It
recounts Hayes’s childhood in the tough Irish sections of Queens
and his eventual escape to the University of Virginia and then to
Columbia Law School. Not at all white-shoe-firm material, Hayes
headed to the hair-raising, crime-ridden South Bronx of the
midseventies—first as a homicide prosecutor and then as a defense
attorney seeking to free the same sort of people he formerly had
put in jail.
Tom Wolfe immortalized this setting in The Bonfire of the
Vanities. Ed Hayes was his guide, and he served as the model
for the scrappy defense lawyer Tommy Killian. Eventually, Hayes
moved his practice to Manhattan, using his neighborhood white boy
instincts and connections and the rough-and-tumble techniques
learned in the Bronx on behalf of the rich and powerful and famous.
From a high-stakes legal shootout over the Andy Warhol estate to
working to secure financial justice for the families of the World
Trade Center victims, Hayes has been behind the scenes of how New
York City really operates.
For the tens of millions fascinated by New York’s unique blend of
glitter and grime, of idealism and corruption, of avarice and
ambition, Mouthpiece provides the ultimate close-up of
high-stakes Gotham gamesmanship.

Praise for Mouthpiece
“Ed Hayes has an almost unique ability to treat
‘kings and paupers, one and both the same’; indeed, he has
prosecuted or defended both at one time or another in his career.
Anyone who has seen Eddie in action recognizes that he is as
articulate as he is colorful. His book, Mouthpiece, proves
‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that he is also one of the most
effective lawyers practicing today.”
—Henry S. Schlieff, Chairman & CEO, Court TV
“Eddie Hayes has more excitement in real life than any lawyer in
the movies.”
—Robert DeNiro
“Eddie Hayes walks, talks, and acts like a character created by
Damon Runyon, but he’s even better because he’s the real
thing.”
—William Bratton, former Police Commissioner of Boston and New
York, current Chief of Police, Los Angeles
“Whether it’s his blistering performances in court, or his Savile
Row chalkstripe suits, Ed Hayes has always been a law unto himself.
Half of New York society is in his memoirs—the other half is trying
to stay well out of his sights.”
—Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief, Vogue
“In the battle between good and evil, Ed Hayes is on both sides.
After reading Mouthpiece I don’t know whether to
congratulate him or arrest him.”
—John Timoney, City of Miami Police Chief, former First Deputy
Commissioner, New York City Police Department
“Thanks to Eddie Hayes, I never got what I deserved.”
—Little Georgie (not his real name)
