New York: Sheridan Square, 1988. First edition. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. Signed by Garrison on map front free endpaper in black ink (situating his signature inside the County Records Building), inscribed to former owner and dated November 1988. xvi, 342pp. Bound in publisher's gilt lettered black cloth with salmon paper covered boards. Fine with a hint of rubbing to spine lettering in a Fine dust jacket.
The former New Orleans District Attorney's final work, a memoir of his controversial investigation into the murder of President Kennedy and eventual prosecution of Clay Shaw. It was made into the popular Oliver Stone film JFK not too long before he died. Rarely found signed due to Garrison's poor health in his final years.
