When Abe Ringel takes the case of Joe Campbell, the "White Knight" of the New York Knicks who has been accused of raping a woman in her hotel room, he thinks he has found the perfect easy victory to get his career back on track. As the defense team's investigations begin to suggest that Campbell is both guilty and dangerous, Abe turns for help and counsel to his mentor, Haskel Levine, an aging lawyer and Talmudic scholar. Together the two undertake an exploration of the ethical underpinnings of the law – of the emerging conflict between Abe's responsibilities in the courtroom and his responsibilities as a human being. A journey into the soul of the law and the mind of the defense attorney, The Advocate's Devil is also a pulse-pounding courtroom drama populated with a cast of compelling characters – a page-turner distinguished by great resonance and power.
