The book is based on the Scarpa files.

There is a dispute going on right now as we speak, between the author (Peter Lance) and Angela Clemente on who should be credited on the research for the book. Lance is claiming that he helped Clemente with optaining the files (and some other stuff), while Clemente "accuses" Lance of stealing her work.

I haven´t picked up the book. Perhaps because I feel for Angela Clemente and her side of the story. If she decides to write a book on Scarpa, that´s the one I will be picking up.
