A very good courtroom novel is Edgar Lustgarten's "A Case to
Answer"
(1947), an early example of British noir and still one of the
best. Lustgarten (1907-1978) was a well-known British
criminologist , and "A Case to Answer", his most famous
novel, had been written under a commission from Graham
Greene, if I am not wrong, for the publishing house which
Greene had been working for at that time.
