By Barrett Prettyman Jr. Winner of Best Fact Crime Edgar, the book covers “6 open and shut murder cases — 6 men tried and condemned to death — 6 appeals before the Supreme Court,” and the rulings of “the nine men” thereon. Cases include Everett Green, Baxter Griffin, and I THINK Caryl Chessman.
An Avon PB that looks a bit beat up — edgewear; water stain to the back; some fading to the edge tint, and some tanning to the pages inside, one of which has a split — but it sits straight, and comes with a “heritage” bookmark from Concord Books. A solid research copy.
