THE MAGISTRATE by Ernest K Gann

Judge Julian Hickock is a respected pillar of society.  He has two children he loves.  He's been widowed a few years but has an attractive and much younger lady friend.  All should be going well for him in his public and private life.  But the lady with the scales and the blindfold in whom he has always totally believed is coming under severe attack.

There's a powerful convicted porn-king determined to avoid serving a sentence and not too fussy about his methods.  There's a young woman set on getting her revenge on the judge for sending her to prison and taking away her child.  Any member of his family is a way for her to get at him.  And at home there is the problem of understanding his own nineteen-year-old son.

Hard cover, fairly good condition.  There is some minor scuffing of the dust cover.  352 pages.
