Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the life of James Cope, an ambitious District Attorney in 1899 Lodo, California. Beginning as a "run-of-the-mill" attorney, Cope's political maneuvering places him in a pivotal position to sway public opinion in one of the most high-profile murder trials of the era. The brutal murder of a wealthy socialite thrusts Englishman Charles Young into the center of the controversy. Despite personal misgivings, Cope attempts to manipulate the American justice system to achieve his political goals, intending to utilize Young's execution as a publicity stunt to elevate his own career. Cope narrates his devious schemes with brutal honesty, shedding light on the unethical practices that define the American justice system at the turn of the century. The author masterfully weaves themes of power, manipulation, and the lengths people will go to achieve it, delving into the psyche of a man who sacrifices his morals for political gain. Ultimately, this book is a compelling exposà of the dark side of politics and the deep-rooted flaws in the justice system, making it a valuable exploration of ethics, morality, and the pursuit of power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
