About the book

"Six Texas trials from 1896 to 1968 illuminate how "unwritten law" permitted violence toward offenders of Southern notions of female virtue, male honor, or sanctity of marriage. Explores the maneuvers of defense lawyers who managed to extricate guilty clients when there appeared no legal basis for a defense"--Provided by publisher.
