A biography of his early career as a lawyer paints him as a dissolute womanizer. So he sweats over a memoir that he hopes will set the record straight about a headline murder case he fought as a starry-eyed young lawyer in 1966. A trial that seemed bound to mark him as a pathetic loser.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe background: a young housemaid is violently sexually assaulted by her employer, a callous, vindictive multi-millionaire. She shoots him point blank and tearfully confesses to police. It’s an open-and-shut case of first-degree murder — or so it seems. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHaunted by having bungled his only previous murder case, Arthur is pressed into service by his firm to take on a sure loser. But the odds shift as the trial speeds through explosive twists and turns.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhile writing his memoir, Arthur learns that it’s not easy to raise a defence against his social gaffes and booze-induced sex scandals, especially as he runs afoul of the quirky characters who inhabit his supposedly idyllic Garibaldi Island.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46506357883135,"sku":"9781770417540","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_3c0c2861-3eb9-4c12-aa04-bfefdee0084a.jpg?v=1737654381","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781770417540","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
