9780451179906. New condition. Mass-market paperback. Language: English. Pages: 640. Mass market (rack) paperback. Glued binding. 640 p. A corporate attorney gives up his prestigious position for the life of a public defender and tackles a case he cannot possibly win: the defense of a young black man with a criminal record who has been accused of seven rape-murders. The defender's only chance is to discredit the testimony of the prosecution's key witness, but as the city seethes with racial tension, he realizes that the verdict is far more important than just one man's guilt or innocence. Is he willing to risk his hard-earned reputation and take the chance of losing the wife he loves for true justice to prevail.
