Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. Facsimile Edition. Description: This is a volume from the Notable Trials Library under the general editorship of Alan M Dershowitz who wrote a special introduction for this facsimile edition. This is a facsimile reprinting of a work published in 1955 by Simon and Schuster and includes the few illustrations found in the original edition. Book design by Daniel B Bianchi and Selma Ordewer. Justice David W Peck was Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court. From his preface: ''There is a double reason why I was moved to report the Greer case in book form. First, it satisfied my liking for mystery stories laid in a court setting. When the case on appeal came before the court over which I preside, I found that reading the record was not a legal chore but an absorbing reading experience. The real-life characters -- lawyers and witnesses, the woman who bore a son in poverty and obscurity, abandoned him, married into wealth and social prominence, spent her life half in fear and half in hope that her son would turn up, and died leaving a fortune to be sought in the search for her heir -- were more interesting than characters that might be encountered in fiction. Second, the case provided an excellent example of trial lawyers' work, of their problems in meeting a baffling case, of their resourcefulness, skill and untiring effort in discovering evidence, uncovering the truth and presenting a case in court.''
