"
Arthur
Beauchamp
takes a break from the courtroom to write a memoir so he can set the record straight about a headline murder case he fought as a young lawyer in 1966. The
trial
would either mark him as a pathetic loser or thrust him into the top ranks of criminal counsel. The background: in 1966, a young housemaid was raped by her employer, a callous and vindictive millionaire. She shot him point blank, so it seemed an open-and-shut case of first-degree murder. Enter
Arthur
Beauchamp
, a young lawyer haunted by having bungled his only previous murder case. He is now called upon to defend a case that he is almost certain can't be won. But as the
trial
speeds through twists and turns, his slashing cross-examinations bring hope that the jury might entertain a reasonable doubt. In the present time,
Arthur
learns that writing about his social gaffes, booze, and sex is not easy, especially as his efforts are regularly interrupted by the quirky characters who inhabit his supposedly idyllic Garibaldi Island."--Publisher.
