The Leavenworth Case

by Anna Katharine GREEN (1864 - 1935)

Mr. Gryce Explains Himself

She was never very successful as an author, but the technical excellence of her books caused several law schools to use The Leavenworth Case as a textbook in some of their classes, as an example of how misleading circumstantial evidence can be.
