A small time hood murders a man in his sleep. Overwhelming evidence links the crime to a brilliant, successful but universally hated attorney as the man who contracted the hit. Despite their dislike for him, the investigating detective and the deputy district attorney come to believe that they are being manipulated in some sort of devious and inexplicable game. But the frame is just too perfect and the judicial process takes on a life of its own, moving inexorably toward the attorney’s conviction. Gabriel’s Game is a wry tale of justice being perverted for a purpose known only to the man who planned it and the man whose job it was to see it through to the end.
