Well as her or her porch -- Alexandra Cooper about her name yes it is.

She got a boyfriend owns a rush hour -- restaurants and.

And so restaurant in south of France but he really like to open one in New York premier restaurant.

You may remember there was a restaurant -- tests for forty years in New York that has considered the best in the world but this character's father -- that restaurant.

So he wants to recreate it now.

In New York.

And so this is about -- It's also about.

Somebody else room.

My head of international while now.

The world economic bureau is what I call.

And this three letter that the web but the women head to Mohamed in June -- So he's in MSDs.

Three initials that sort of like a guy called DSK -- germ was head of the IMF.

-- this is a parity.

All -- that incident march.

Just there was -- instant.

Sorely -- and -- drill wells where my imagination.

It took me of course.

As you know that case would have been in my jurisdiction had a remained a prosecutor in new York and so that's my character does.

ID SK would've been her case I just couldn't help I was on your show several times doing commentary.

About the actual DSK case and sort everywhere when people wanted to know.

What really happened that I know anymore and then have been reported in the papers so what I thought I could do religion to Avant and no it shouldn't.

But what I thought I could do is take the insider's look at what was happening.

In those meetings why couldn't the accuser get a story out that was straightforward -- made sense -- why couldn't we trust which she was saying.

So.

I really want to get inside that investigation took about three weeks in my book which is fast pace there.

Murders happening before and after that that case begins.

My point was really too -- to to give a very insider look at how that that kind of interrogation goes on and why it.

Creates problems -- they people investigating the case.

You're to slide doctoral -- Verisign.

Letterman more tonight -- -- -- delay our did you ever to slide.

-- -- -- Either in this board and I watched.

Or yourself what actually happened.

I don't think we'll ever know what actually happened between -- -- you're -- know I'll I know we're about I'd say -- net.

-- hundred -- Europe great experience and -- large.

-- wanted to if you have decided.

I certainly can't -- gap in my own head I think something between what each of them said.

-- I don't think we have a straightforward narrative from.

The woman that can be believed but there is DNA in the room.

Bernard and then Yasser Arafat -- direction of the conversation.

There's a lot of the physical evidence in the room -- That haven't suggests that there was sexual encounter proves that this is excellent counter.

I don't -- love affair it happened in twenty minutes so but I also don't think that this 58 year old man whose.

Didn't.

Kind of pig in his private life.

Came out of the bathroom and grabbed this woman 3000 room suite where she had an opportunity to leave the room.

So something's missing for me at the beginning of that encounter.

And that's but I try and figure out.

In this fictional narrative of what that might have been.

More war what did you come over -- a book or do we have to read it to find out you have to reach its -- sorry.

I'll tell you later -- Since they know you what it is but no I don't censor and I know that a special -- like -- people were rated because.

Somebody must like your books are all best sellers thank you well I think that's in large measure the fact that you have me on.

Book after book but I don't let us -- us to do.

But too gracious of you to say and it starts -- actually are a couple of my brother's.

Not worthy of that -- I'm sure it helps it helps a lot and debt.

People I -- -- popular -- you know and.

Do you have Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark and I don't great crime -- -- -- and.

They're popular it's a good beach read it's fun it's mean it's got.

Murders the south of France the restaurant world in new York and then our -- restaurant promote find me speak.

For both domestic usually it's -- and so it's got a lot of fun elements and then the background is the investigation of this familiar.

Case now rose on the article -- there -- on what we're -- -- soft.

And -- section.

Bob -- -- became.

A -- books trashy books.

Are war -- -- -- -- on additional.

Bright and if people want to consider this trashy just taken to the beach -- a world that I don't think in some cases.

I don't professor -- trash but what are the term liberal people Drexler McMurtry is lonesome dove.

Or what -- it's not treasury.

Cigarette market -- -- 200 pages -- Kelberg all about.

-- of functional creditor reps and the -- in our conversation.

-- -- -- -- All ten states doubt -- your mind.

That Jerry sandusky.

Molested and -- such was his children.

No doubt my -- whatsoever none at all.

I think the other evidence was overwhelming against him I think probably some of what we heard in court was just -- if you will that tip of the iceberg.

This conduct had been going on for so long.

At the university had knowledge -- -- that he was the worst kept secret.

-- when he came into that locker room.

With other young men and and everybody I think had an idea what was going on and allowed it to go on.

-- -- She reflect reported suffer our -- definition of -- -- -- your councilman there's a guy.

Seems fairly.

Unaffected by this and sit -- court -- and operatives lawyers who have got them.

I don't get it either it it is -- Patrick behavior yes I have fortunately as far as we know we didn't go on to more -- what we normally think of -- more violent.

Killing victims -- -- -- behavior but certainly he put himself above the and to submit -- it would -- switches that.

Sort of definition of a sociopath and cold calculated uninterested in their response.

Doing this in his own home -- -- most occasions with his wife upstairs.

And -- so it is it is very self centered sociopath -- Back to your book was actually sound pretty good night watched.

And the boyfriend her house video cartilage -- a restaurant in France.
