Salzman is an amazing writer and a truly wonderful
speaker; bright, funny, and eminently entertaining.  I
hope you are able to have him speak to your readers.

A few titles that may be below the radar, all are
nonfiction --

A Trial by Jury by D. Graham Burnett - a professor who
ended up as foreman of the jury on a murder trial in
NYC writes about his experience

Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American
Criminal Courthouse by Steve Bogira - set in the Cook
County Criminal Courthouse, a hotbed of hot cases

Indefensible: One Lawyer's Journey into the Inferno of
American Justice by David Feige - an intensive look at
the South Bronx from the viewpoint of a public
defender

Also, Edmund Morris did a fascinating biography of
Beethoven a couple of years ago -- Beethoven: The
Universal Composer 

Lost Genius: The Curious and Tragic Story of an
Extraordinary Musical Prodigy by Kevin Bazzana is
about Ervin Nyiregyházi, who I had never heard of, but
had quite the interesting life; besides performing and
composing from the age of 3 on, he found the time to
get married 10 times!
 
Hope this helps.
