The Crime of Sheila McGough
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf
- Publish date: 12/01/2007
Description:
Sheila McGough was prosecuted and convicted because the government (and then the jury) interpreted her zealous representation of a con-man client named Bob Bailes as collaboration in his fraud. Malcolm's close readings of court records and her interviews with lawyers and businessmen connected with the case give a picture of American law and American cupidity that is startling in its pitiless specificity. And her portrait of Sheila McGough -- "a woman of almost preternatural honesty and decency", and of maddening literal-mindedness and discursiveness -- brings an unconventional new heroine into vivid being.
