Mickey Murphy is a criminal lawyer with an office in LA`s downtown low-rent district, an ex-wife who bleeds him for money, clients who would plead the Fifth Amendment if they could count that high, and an unrequited passion for his wealthiest client`s wife. To make matters worse, Mickey finds himself embroiled against his wishes in an elaborate and clever scam that`s going askew, and being interrogated by the LAPD about a brutal murder. With an observant eye and ear for the California ˜scene`, Deighton once again uses his brilliant storytelling skills to propel an exciting and suspenseful narrative at breakneck speed to a dramatic climax in a riot-torn city. This new reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer, Oscar-winning filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman, and a brand new introduction by Len Deighton, which offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the story.
