{"product_id":"false-face-novak-sheriff-9798266202337","title":"False Face: A Legal Con of Love and Law","description":"New York City, 1995. Michael Russell keeps his Fridays quiet: one drink, no small talk, no trouble. Then Candy Lynch slides onto the next barstool-smart, bruised, and desperate. Her \"brother,\" Daniel, sits in jail for a back-alley stabbing. She swears he loses time, that another self takes over. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst his better judgment, Michael builds an insanity defense-brick by brick, breath by breath. In court, Daniel's symptoms look real. The jury listens. The verdict: Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. Daniel goes to a hospital, not a cell. By the rules, it's a win. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Candy vanishes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the story frays, Michael sees the shape of a con that used his best parts-his accuracy, his faith in process-to free a killer. Bound by duty and short on proof, he has to live with what he made. FALSE FACE is a lean legal thriller with a noir heart-about seduction, strategy, and the cost of being \"right\" when the truth won't stand up in court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Novak Sheriff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798266202337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Novak Sheriff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170412896511,"sku":"9798266202337","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/false-face-novak-sheriff-9798266202337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
