By Melvin M. Belli. With Maurice C. Carroll. How real -- and how much of the story is about Ruby, versus about Belli -- is always a crapshoot with this "author," but this is a real window into midcentury crim-law thinking (and simple cover design).
Some edge- and cornerwear to the jacket of this 1964 hardcover, plus a big old sticker on the back from a previous stop, but the pages are clean and tight, and not as toned as you'd expect. A nice find for case completists.
