Trial is Irving’s book about a criminal defense attorney named Warren Blackburn who had his license suspended for one year for misleading a judge about a client’s criminal record. Now that he’s been reinstated, cases are hard to come by. Now, he’s got to big ones. An illegal immigrant who has been accused of murder and the girlfriend of a wealthy doctor who has been accused of murdering him. She is claiming self defense and hires one of the wealthiest lawyers in the city to defend. That lawyer selects Warren as his second chair, but when he dies – Warren is thrust into the spotlight. Things get complicated when one of his cases is connected to the other, but the lawyer-client confidentiality prevents him from doing anything about it.
