Description: For the last four decades, the Seattle-based criminal defense lawyer has defended the indefensible.  Taking on some of the most unwinnable cases--and nearly winning them all--with his unceasing advocacy and daring, he is still haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy.  Browne, a formerly drug- and alcohol-addicted defense attorney here traces the roots of his discontent as well as his dedication, asking himself the question others have asked him all along:  Does defeding evil make you evil too?
