About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pocket Books, 1990. 1st edition, August 1990, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Near fine in near fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY, signature only, by the author on the title page. Nominated for an EDGAR AWARD for Best Novel. San Antonio, Texas. "David Blackwell, son of the district attorney of San Antonio, Texas, stands before a jury of his peers accused of rape. He claims his accuser staged the rape; ripped off her own clothes, clawed her own flesh. It is an implausible story, one his own defense attorney doubts. While the ensuing courtroom drama is fascinating, it is secondary to Brandon's chilling exposure of all those sworn to uphold the impartiality of justice. Theirs is a corrupt facade: career advancement, politics, personal agendas, and vendettas leave David a victim of the miscarriage of justice. Brandon's skill in tearing away this second layer of the legal justice system is credible, as he is himself a practicing attorney." -- Library Journal. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
