Arrogant, brilliant and successful criminal defense attorney Martin Vail loves a good fight and the media spotlight, both of which he knowingly invites when he volunteers to represent a penniless, bewildered altar boy accused of murdering the local archbishop. The defendant's guilt seems as evident as the blood found splattered on his clothes. But Vail doesn't concern himself with questions of guilt or innocence. All he cares about is creating and selling his version of the truth. As his involvement with his client deepens, however, Vail's consuming need to win, his antagonism toward his former boss in the prosecutor's office, his complicated relationship with his former lover who is the prosecutor in this case, and his unexpected feelings for his client, combine to blind him to the trap awaiting him.

With the perfect defense for a murder Richard Gere defends a seemingly innocent Ed Norton for the vicious murder of a priest. Ed Norton's character slowly begins to show signs of a multiple personality disorder, which of course makes the "normal" Ed seem completely clear of blame. Some very smart twists and turns, and the book is great as well. Intriguing!!!
Elegant grey thriller about a hot shot lawyer who defends a young man who he believes to have multiple personalities and have been set up for the brutal murder of a priest and finds himself confronted by his own indifference. The cool style is key, all muted grey tones and moral ambiguity.
