Hold tight as Archie Spencer takes you on a satirical joy-ride through Californias criminal justice system. Join in the fun and see how criminal lawyers really get their clients acquitted. Best-selling author Trevanian (Incident at Twenty-Mile, The Eiger Sanction, The Summer of Katya, Shibumi, The Main) writes of Prosecutor Will be Violated: "The current three-ring-circus, justice-to-the highest-bidder character of the American legal system begs for a lacerating examination in fiction, and Archie Spencer has given us just that, a book with wit and weight." Archie graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He practiced corporate law in Minneapolis for over 30 years with the firm of Best & Flanagan. "Even the law gets old after a while," he says. "Now I am doing what I always wanted to do." Archie plays the piano and has composed pieces for piano and voice. He is currently working on two novels not about the law. He and his wife, Chris, live in Minneapolis and have four children and six grandchildren. Chris is a vice-president of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and a watercolorist who has exhibited locally and nationally. Want to purchase your own copy? Then click here.
