Thrilling stories starring America's smartest -- and most unscrupulous -- lawyer

During the gold rush, Richard Warren and Samuel Walcott set out from New York to strike it rich. When fortune does not find them, Samuel saves himself from the gutter by marrying a saloonkeeper's daughter. Jealous of his friend's beautiful wife, Richard kills Samuel and flees the desert with the woman and a trove of stolen gold dust. He assumes his dead friend's identity and makes a name for himself in New York -- until the woman he killed for turns out to be a blackmailer.

Desperate, Richard turns to the mysterious lawyer Randolph Mason. A crooked genius, Mason doesn't mind having a killer for a client, and will do whatever he can to help Richard escape justice. In this brilliantly original story collection, Mason follows the letter of the law while gleefully betraying its spirit.
