Martin L. Friedland

Opis

In 1900, a Young Lawyer was Accused of Murdering William Marsh Rice, founder of Rice University, and forging the will to inherit his vast estate. Martin Friedland sheds new light -- and casts doubt -- on a seemingly ironclad case.

A fascinating, engrossing, riveting book about a most remarkable murder case.' -- Edward L. Greenspan, Q.C.

'Friedland has done a remarkable job of reviving a great murder mystery. Woven largely from contemporary records, his bizarre tale recreates the events and personalities of this once celebrated case.' -- H. Richard Uviller, former District Attorney, NYC
