**First published by St. Martin's in 1958, Robert Traver's Anatomy of a
Murder immediately became the number-one bestseller in America, and was
subsequently turned into the now classic Otto Preminger film of the same
name, starring Jimmy Stewart and Duke Ellington.
**
It's not only the most popular courtroom drama in American fiction, but
one of the most popular novels of our time.
A gripping tale of deceit, murder, and a sensational trial, Anatomy of
a Murder is unmatched in the authenticity of its settings, events, and
characters. This new edition should delight both loyal fans of the past
and an entire new generation of readers.
The characters are as fresh as when they were first created, the tension
high, and the cross- examinations and legal chicanery full of suspense.
The novel is simply what it says on the cover. A classic. - *Tangled
