The D.A. says it was Arbuckle who killed her. William Randolph Hearst's newspapers stir up the public and demand a guilty verdict. But what really happened?...In desperation, Arbuckle's defense team hires a Pinkerton agent to do an investigation of his own and, they hope, discover the truth. The agent's name is Dashiell Hammett, and he's the book's narrator. What he discovers will change American legal history-and his own life-forever.--From publisher description.
