description: On August 2, 1976, gunshots ripped through an exclusive Fort Worth mansion. Two people were killed - including a twelve year old girl. Two others were gravely wounded. Survivors and witnesses told the police the same story: Cullen Davis had invaded the mansion, bent on murdering everyone inside. But from the moment Davis' name was mentioned, an open-and-shut case became legal quagmire. For Davis was heir to a legendary Texas dynasty of oil and money, and worth over a hundred million dollars. Now this shocking and compelling book exposes the behind-the-scenes true story of how this multimillionaire used his power and wealth to protect himself from charges of murder.Filled with pulsating courtroom drama, it reveals how Davis' lawyers turned the trial upside down with Davis' ex-wife and her circle of lovers and playmates forced to defend themselves against intimate questioning about their lurid sexcapades. An eye-opening testament to Davis' callous credo that money can buy anything, Final Justice will change the way you think about the American justice system forever.
