Trial by Clifford Irving
A thrilling adventure into the real world of criminal law, a rich and powerful novel that deals with murder, the morality of justice and the perils of love, Clifford Irving's novel sets a new standard for courtroom fiction.

A twisting, relentless thriller, Trial follows Texas lawyer Warren Blackburn as he defends two accused murderers in two separate cases. One of his clients is a former beauty queen and brazen owner of a topless nightclub, who shot her multimillionaire doctor lover - she claims - in self-defense; the other is a homeless illegal alien accused of killing a man for his wallet.
Without warning, the two cases merge and become one, and Warren's entire life and career are threatened. William Safire in The New York Times called this "the novel of the year."
