JACKET DESIGN: Lawrence Ratzkin. CONTENTS: The Killing; The Escape; The Interlude; The Trial. SYNOPSIS: In this shocking account of a murder and its aftermath, journalist and reporter Arthur Bell probes the facts behind a crime of violence--the brutal slaying of John Knight III in Philadelphia--and reveals how the victim's secret life brought about his own death. As he covers the case, Bell searches for answers which would explain Knight's inability to resolve his sexual conflicts--why a young man who was heir to his family's Knight-Ridder newspaper fortune, an established collector of modern art, a graduate of Harvard and Oxford, and a talented journalist in his own right, searched for sex in the world of hustlers and pimps, cruising ghetto streets at midnight for young men. Kings Don't Mean a Thing reads like a gripping work of fiction. The book captures all the bizarre details of the Knight murder, from the senseless events that took place on the night of December 7, 1975, to the final macabre courtroom scene, months later, when the truths of John Knight's torturous double life were laid to rest. More than a character study or detective story, the book is also a personal odyssey in which the narrator himself becomes part of the unfolding events. Arthur Bell is a staff writer and columnist for The Village Voice. His work has also appeared in Esquire, The New York Times, Playboy, and Cosmopolitan and has covered a wide range of subjects--from murders, marches, movie stars, and bank robberies to asexuality, homosexuality, politics, riots, and weddings. He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., lives in Manhattan, and is the author of Dancing the Gay Lib Blues, published in 1971.. First Edition 2nd Printing. Hard Cover.
