This story was written by CBSNews s Melissa McNamara. It started with an anonymous e-mail on Nov. 21: You should get a mug shot of James Frey. A typical suggestion for The Smoking Gun. The Web site features hundreds of mug shots, categorized by genre. But when the investigative team searched for a police booking photo of the author, they couldn t find one. What should ve been a very brief pursuit, wasn t. We couldn t find anything mdash; strange for someone who said he spent three months in jail , says William Bastone, 44, the site s co-founder.Intrigued, Bastone bought A Million Little Pieces, and read it, along with the 3.5 million who bought the book after Oprah Winfrey chose it for her book club.
