For O.J. Simpson to get away with murder, an innocent cop had to be destroyed. That was the cynical strategy of the Simpson defense. But as certainty about Simpson's guilt grew, so did outrage about the scapegoating of the brilliant detective Mark Fuhrman. Now, the former LAPD detective tells his side of the story in this damning exposé.
Fuhrman takes the reader on a detective's journey through the crucial first twenty-four hours of the investigation. We uncover not only the bloody glove but explosive new evidence, recorded by Fuhrman and his partner at the scene but astonishingly never presented at the trial. Fuhrman's own hand-drawn maps of the crime scene and his reconstruction of the murders leave no doubt about what really happened on June 12, 1994. New revelations about the incompetence and corruption that pervaded the "Trial of the Century" will set the record straight.
"[A] badly needed, if one-sided retrospective on how [Fuhrman's] role unfolded. It is not necessary to absolve him to know that something was lost when Mr. Fuhrman fell out of the case."-New York Times Book Review
