McGough had served 2 1\/2 years for collaborating with a client in his fraud, but insisted that she didn't commit any of the 14 felonies she was convicted.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"[N]o other writer tells better stories about the perpetual, the unwinnable, battle between narrative and truth.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn astonishingly persuasive condemnation of the cupidity of American law and its preference for convincing narrative rather than the truth, this is also a story with an unconventional heroine. McGough is a zealous defense lawyer duped by a white-collar con man; a woman who lives, at the age of 54, with her parents; a journalistic subject who frustrates her interviewer with her maddening literal-mindedness. Spirited, illuminating, delightfully detailed, \u003cb\u003eThe Crime of Sheila McGough\u003c\/b\u003e is both a dazzling work of journalism and a searching meditation on character and the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Malcolm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375704598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2000 pg. 28","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45322606608499,"sku":"9780375704598","price":18.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d5d26af5-c5d3-49fb-bfbe-c7dea2942066.jpg?v=1786020725","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-crime-of-sheila-mcgough-9780375704598","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
