In With the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption
Set to be a major motion picture, this intriguing book tells the true story of a convicted drug dealer who must go undercover in the nation's toughest maximum security prison for the criminally insane to obtain the confession of a notorious serial rapist and murderer.
James Keene had it all: cars, girls, houses up and down the Gold Coast. But behind his well-connected star athlete facade was a money-obsessed drug dealer desperate to make the big score to get him out of the business. When he was sentenced to prison, it seemed the only lessons he would learn would be about navigating convict society. Instead, he was offered a chance to regain his freedom in return for going undercover in the nation's highest security prison for the criminally insane. His task: to get friendly with Larry Hall, a mentally unbalanced serial rapist and murderer, and obtain his confession. For nearly a year, Keene walked the line between the part he played and the self he hoped to redeem, all the while dodging punches from deranged inmates, currying favor with imprisoned Mafia dons, and staying beneath the radar of Larry's oddly protective psychiatrist.
