Description
When defense attorney Abe Ringel takes the case of Joe Campbell- the "White Knight" of the New York Knicks who stands accused of rape- the lawyer anticipates an easy victory to get his career on track. But when it appears that Campbell is not only guilty but dangerous, Ringel must confront the conflict between his courtroom responsibilities and his ethics as a human being. In this astonishing and realistic story, famed legal tactician Alan Dershowitz delves into the mind and soul of a lawyer, who must ask himself a controversial legal question, " What do you do if you are a defense attorney who suspects your client is a dangerous criminal?" The Advocate's Devil offers a rare combination of pulse-pounding courtroom drama and compelling characters, making it a work of profound resonance and power.
