    I do not suggest that any of them should have been convicted. I do suggest that all of them would have been convicted had they not been shielded by remarkable defenders.There are those who believe that innocence is enough. All my experience teaches me the contrary. The machinery of the law is by no means infallible, and circumstances may conspire to such evil effect that only a great advocate can hope to challenge them.The cases that follow seem to fall into this class. If Adelaide Bartlett, Robert Wood, Elvira Barney and Tony Mancini had been defended by barristers of merely average talent, I do not believe there would have been the same result. Only the exceptional brilliance of their counsel gained for them the verdict to which they were entitled.It is not, perhaps, a very comforting reflection. But one cannot ignore disquieting phenomena that are liable to recur in any year of our own lives.

    This hard-nosed tale, "Dead Weight," was penned by well-known mystery-crime writer, Frank Kane. "Get in my way and I'll stamp you flat!" That's what the boss of Chinese Heaven told Johnny Liddell. "You'll tell me what I want to know-sooner or later." The gunman swept the flat of the barrel across Johnny's cheek. "You asked for it, peeper... We'll see how tough you are." A switch knife flashed in the goon's hand. Everyone was threatening Johnny Liddell, even his girl and the cops, until Johnny came up with a new kind of twist to trap a killer. It was so good that he fooled everyone-even himself! Carried out in the heart of Chinatown, this gritty mystery has it all: Torture, murder, conspiracy... A must read for all Yellow Peril fans and a definite hit-in more ways than one-for any whodunit enthusiast!

    As Johnny prowls the grim noir landscape of post-war Los Angeles, he discovers that the road to his $300 fee leads through a wilderness of vice and corruption, straight to the murder of a shady cop...and he is the prime suspect.
