9/5/97
Doubleday books has reportedly inked a deal with a former CIA agent
who claims to have smuggled drugs into the U.S. for the agency from 1974-1992.
The former agent, who has only been identified by a pseudonym, "Bob
King," says that both he and the men who used to work for him are
under threat of assassination by their former employer. King's agent, David
Vigliano, insists that the story is true, and that the author's identity
will be revealed once the book has been published and the account can be
independently verified. Movie rights to the book, titled "Spooky 8,"
have been purchased by the Hughes Brothers, directors of "Menace II
Society."
