More about the book
The protagonist is Randolph Mason, a morally ambiguous New York lawyer adept at exploiting legal loopholes to benefit his criminal clients. Notably, in "The Corpus Delicti," he successfully defends a murderer by arguing the absence of a body and witnesses, highlighting the law's limitations. The collection showcases various cases that illustrate Mason's cunning and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the legal system. Melville Davisson Post, an early 20th-century American author, uses these stories to critique the flaws in legal practices of his time.
