Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Mortmain' is a compelling collection of legal mysteries and suspenseful tales penned by Arthur Train, a master of the legal thriller genre. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century New York, these stories explore the intricate and often shadowy world of the law, where justice is frequently a matter of technicality and wit. The title story, 'Mortmain,' delves into the chilling concept of the 'dead hand' of the past reaching out to influence the lives of the living through complex wills and legal entanglements.Train, drawing on his own experience as a district attorney, populates his narratives with sharp-witted lawyers, desperate defendants, and clever criminals. Each story is a masterclass in tension, blending legal procedural elements with psychological depth. Whether dealing with cases of inheritance, identity, or high-stakes fraud, Train captures the tension between the letter of the law and the demands of morality.
