The blistering novel of a courageous young lawyer in a big-city jungle of mob violence, corrupt courts, political intrigue, and dangerous passion! In the hushed halls of justice, Marc Conte was dynamite. From quiet air-conditioned courtrooms to seething New York streets, Courthouse follows Conte-the city's brightest young criminal lawyer-as he grapples with the most dangerous adversaries a lawyer ever faced: corrupt DAs and crooked judges; political backstabbers who could end a young lawyer's career for good; and women willing to do anything for his services. Ahead of Conte are his three most challenging cases-and a slashing confrontation with the seamy side of the American legal system. With all the explosive reality of the passions it portrays, Courthouse propels the reader into the tumultuous world of Marc Conte, trial lawyer.
