This book shows one of our greatest legal minds, a close relative of mine, at work. Very few people know that in addition to being a star attorney, Louis Nizer (the author of the book, not myself) was an all- star baseball player in the ill-fated Norewigan pro- baseball leage. This book unpacks both, and Nizers love of felines. A smash hit!

Louis Nizer wrote this book at age 90 ! Unbelievable ! This is an incisive true account of the 4 trials of Murray Gold for murder, his mistrials, his convictions, his mental deterioration, and his eventual paralysis of will. It illustrates perfectly the chaos that ensues when the formal court system bumps up against the mentally ill defendant. The defendant sabatoges not only his case, his attorneys,his family, and the judge, but himself as well. The results, as here, are catastrophic. The only real ray of hope in this man’s ordeal was the skill, creativity, persistence, and compassion shown by attorney Louis Nizer. I hope he lives to be 150. They just don’t make them like that anymore !

As the story unfolds the tension mounts. It left no doubt in my mind that this was truly an unjustly accused and convicted man. I was also greatly impressed with the dedication and compassion of defense attorneys.

Louie was my step-grandfather. All of his books reveal the truth of his existence. Louie had a passion for the law that exceeds words or description. An injustice to Louie was a sin against G-d and man. This book wrote itself a the story unfolded during its authorship. I remember having dinner with my parents and Louie (and my glorious grandmother and Louie’s precious wife..Mildred) as Louie in his later years was engrossed by this case and its twists and turns. I was unable to put the book down and I hope you enjoy it too..and it gives insight into how a lawyer could love the law and his profession with intensity and passion.

Legal thrillers are my favorite genre of books; however, Attorney Nizer either assumes his readers are not paying attention or stupid. I was very tired of the repetition which caused me to put down this book several times. It is a riveting story which makes this book worth while, but be prepared to be annoyed at the author’s technique. It might work well with a jury, it doesn’t work well with an educated reader.
