<DIV><b>A lawyer scrambles to save a judge-killing hooker from the gallows </b></div><BR><DIV>No women have been hanged in San Verdo since 1921, but after four decades it looks like that&rsquo;s about to change. Helen Pilasky is far from a sympathetic defendant. She&rsquo;s a known prostitute, and there is strong evidence that she murdered Judge Alexander Knowton, a supreme court justice beloved statewide. More than one hundred thousand people live in San Verdo, and nearly all of them want Helen Pilasky&rsquo;s neck. It is Blake Eddyman&rsquo;s job to save her.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>A well-off lawyer whose once promising career has stalled, Blake is caught between his ambition and his fear of failure. Saving Helen seems impossible, but he can&rsquo;t refuse the job. She faces a charge of murder in the first degree. If convicted, the sentence is automatic. Only Blake stands between this enigmatic young woman and the hangman.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
