Items related to The Last Innocent Man
Defense attorney David Nash has made a career out of setting monsters free―and no one does it better. Now a case has come to “the Ice Man” that could help cleanse Nash of the guilt and doubts that torment him: that rarest of all defendants, an innocent man.
A family man, a rising star in the legal profession, this new client has been accused of a heinous crime―the brutal murder of an undercover vice cop. But the case that is supposed to be Nash’s redemption could prove to be his downfall, dragging him into a dark and sinister world where lies and the truth are interchangeable; where the manipulator becomes the manipulated, and every answer spawns more complex and terrifying questions. And as the shadows close in around him, the final question that remains for David Nash concerns his own fate: life...or death?
“Beautifully constructed...tightly written, a pleasant mixture of brutality and humanity, with a humdinger of a solution.” ―Contra Costa Times
“Margolin is the master.” ―Pittsburgh Tribune Review

From the Inside Flap:
A brilliant lawyer. A dangerous affair. A brutal murder. And a client who just might be...
The Last Innocent Man
David Nash, defense attorney. The papers call him the Ice Man -- cool, unruffled, practically invincible in the courtroom. Most of the clients he defends are guilty. A few may even be monsters. Suddenly the Ice Man is assailed by doubts and unanswerable questions. What is the cost of each victory, each rapist or murderer set free -- to society and to Nash's soul? Then, along comes a case that may be Nash's redemption. A rising lawyer and family man is accused of the brutal murder of an undercover vice cop.
Finally, a client whose innocence Nash can believe in. But as the case moves toward trial, new doubts grip him: What is truth and what is carefully fabricated falsehood? Is Nash, a master at handling juries, being manipulated himself? By the time Nash's perfect case is finished, the questions become a matter of life and death.

"Jampacked plot... (Margolin) shows us... the difficulties of lawyers as people practicing in a system of justice which is the same for the guilty and the innocent... and exposes the costs paid by a conscientious lawyer in the coin of human feeling." -- The Washington Post.
"Exciting stumper, high pitched courtroom drama." -- Booklist.
"An intricate tale that weighs guilt, justice, and the law, this book also has plenty of action and drama. A real spellbinder." -- Library Journal
