Ari had a game plan for life: shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her.

He especially didn’t know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl.

Hotel-room-trashing tantrums? Check. Daddy issues galore? Check. Glitz, glamour and general debauchery? I wrote the f**king book.

Det var tidigt sjuttiotal. En politisk tid. Unga entusiastiska journalister ägnade sig åt att gräva i statens hemligheter och avslöjade en spionorganisation som inte ens riksdagen kände till. Det ledde till en våldsam konfrontation. Staten slog tillbaka med polisrazzior och fängelsestraff. Många minns skriverierna runt IB-affären. Men vad var det egentligen som hände?
