Gladiator-at-Law

First Published: 1955
Caution! You are about to enter a world…
…where all engineering ingenuity has been employed for public spectacles of torture and death.
…where the stock market operated with pari-mutual machines.
…where a court clerk transcribes testimony on punch cards, then feeds it to a jury machine.
…where the dream real-estate development of today has become a cracked-concrete savage jungle.

In this world, young lawyer Charles Mundin battles a great combine of corporate interest–battles them in board meetings and in dark alley–in a struggle that lays bare some brutal promises about the future…
…promises we are beginning to make right now.
