About This Book

An aging, celebrated criminal lawyer unexpectedly accepts what appears to be a petty robbery-murder case and, under global television scrutiny, stages courtroom maneuvers while posing philosophical questions about human nature. Press speculation and legal rivals wonder why the veteran chose this matter for his final case, as he privately observes unsettling details about his young defendant's appearance and identity. The trial becomes both legal drama and a meditation on personhood, reputation, and the limits of perception, with procedural procedure and public spectacle exposing ambiguities about who merits judgment and what defines a man.
