Buffa, D. W. The Defense
New York, New York, U.S.A. Henry Holt & Company 1997 0805053077 / 9780805053074 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $20.00. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 309 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. Synopsis Defense attorney Joseph Antonelli is a stranger to defeat. There doesn't seem to be a case - no matter how implausible - that is beyond him. Until the phone rings one crisp April morning and Judge Rifkin asks Antonelli to defend Johnny Morel, a con man and convicted drug dealer accused of raping his twelve-year-old stepdaughter, Michelle. The prosecutor's case is riddled with inconsistencies, and Michelle's history of sexual abuse could be the perfect straw man for the defense. Antonelli never confused the legal system with justice, so it should have been routine to defend a man he knew was guilty. And it should have ended there. No one suspected it would end in murder. Suspenseful and engaging, The Defense is also a deeply disturbing tour de force about justice, truth, and the dangers of our legal system. Over My Dead Body.com - Anthony Smith The Defense is a nice book....Law genre fans should read it for a taste of something different. And people who aren't so big on law mysteries (which, according to Grisham sales figures, includes FOUR PEOPLE) might enjoy it as well, since the voice of Antonelli makes for a compelling character. Biography D.W. Buffa served as a defense attorney for ten years. He is the author of five acclaimed novels, The Judgment, nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel of the Year, Star Witness, The Legacy, The Prosecution, and The Defense. He lives in California.

Buffa, D. W. The Legacy
New York, New York, U.S.A. Warner Books, Incorporated 2002 0446527386 / 9780446527385 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new condition - Appears unread - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $25.95 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - 456 pages - A former defense lawyer, D. W. Buffa has earned a reputation for writing taut courtroom dramas -- such as The Judgment, his 2001 Edgar nominee for Best Novel -- marked by a highly effective use of realistic legal maneuvers and litigation tactics to produce tension. In The Legacy, he once again thrusts his protagonist, Portland attorney Joseph Antonelli, into an absorbing, complex case, one that will lead to terrifying revelations and a trail of corruption, old world money, destroyed innocence, and plenty of dirty politics. Jeremy Fullerton, a California senator with presidential ambitions, is shot in the front seat of his car after giving a fiery speech. Jamal Washington, a young black medical student, is arrested fleeing the scene and charged with murder despite his protests that he was only trying to aid the dying senator. Enter Antonelli, who is willing to stake his reputation -- and possibly his life -- to clear Washington in a case that is bound to uncover secrets a lot of powerful people would prefer to leave buried. Eventually Antonelli tracks the intricate machinations behind the murder to a grand conspiracy in Italy, where the outcome is something completely unexpected. Buffa uses a sure and steady hand to tell an elaborate tale that moves from the modern-day courts back to a cabal formed decades earlier. Thought-provoking and filled with intricate twists, The Legacy offers fleshed-out characters and a fulfilling story that digs deep into the very ideals of our judicial and political systems.
