We photograph every item. ex-library with usual markings; edge wear to jacket and boards; A sensational murder trial! A young woman found naked and stabbed to death in her apartment! The woman was the girlfriend of his boss, Richard Rosenberg, and the hotshot lawyer is charged with killing her. Now Richard's in court fighting for his life, and Stanley's out on the firing line trying to dig up some evidence in his favor. It won't be easy. The murdered woman was a law clerk for a prominent judge, and everyone Stanley needs to question is currently tied up in a high-profile Global Banking trial. As Stanley races back and forth between two courtrooms, searching for the key to the mystery through investigative techniques that could easily get him charged as an accessory, every fact tends to point to Richard's guilt: DNA evidence proves he is the man who had sex with the victim just before she died, eyewitnesses put him at the scene of the crime, and his fingerprints are on the murder weapon. In desperation, Richard resorts to a series of courtroom tactics so outrageous they would make Perry Mason blush. Before the case is over, everyone in the courtroom will be convinced that not only does Richard Rosenberg have a fool for a client, but the client has a fool for a lawyer.

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For Adele Sullivan - keep up the good work - and best wishes from - Roy Cohn". The recipient has dated the inscription underneath 5 June 1973. The recipient is almost certainly Adele Woodhouse Erb Sullivan (1907-1999), 26th President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a conservative patriotic organization. The Daughters of the American Revolution had enthusiastically supported the investigations of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, during which Cohn served as chief counsel to Senator McCarthy. They virulently opposed communism throughout the 1950s and afterwards. In the 1960s, Sullivan made a high-profile trip to Vietnam with General William Westmoreland, which stirred the passions of the pro-war elements in American society and led to a large increase in membership of Sullivan's organization. Roy Cohn's career was marked with controversy. He gained a reputation as a fixer who kept ethics separate from legal battles - he later served as lawyer and mentor to the young Donald Trump and represented New York mob bosses. In 1964 and 1969, indictments were brought against him by federal grand juries in New York. He was acquitted each time. In A Fool for a Client, Cohn contends the indictments were only harassment and recommends the abolition of the grand jury system and curtailment of the use of the conspiracy statute. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in black. With dust jacket. Unclipped jacket a little toned, slightly rubbed at extremities. A fine copy in very good jacket.
