Wow, I was *just* talking about him at Arisia. Peter Maas, who wrote the book about his life, was my neighbor and his son was a playmate of mine growing up. He passed away a number of years ago and his son works in Hollywood, possibly still for Paramount, I've lost track.
Peter Maas was always drawn to the poignant honesty in people (see many of his other novels). Serpico is certainly that. What an interesting and fascinating person. I really hope he DOES write that book, name names and find some peace with his broken heart.
