...argument over the rights of free press v. the rights to fair trial goes back, in its modern phase, to cases like the Lindbergh kidnaping: the courtroom at Bruno Hauptmann's trial turned into a grotesque circus, jammed with 150 reporters and cameramen. In the case of Cleveland Osteopath Sam Sheppard, accused of murdering his wife in 1954, the local newspapers ran a virtual crusade for conviction before and during the trial. Incredibly, the jurors at first were allowed to go home at night to read the news accounts, which sometimes even contained predictions about the next...

What sets the book apart is the extraordinary skill and imagination that the author lavishes upon the title figure, Dr. Michael Cobb. Cobb is a pander in the form of a society osteopath. Yet Cassill manages to present him sympathetically as a high-souled practitioner of black magic and sexual adept who trains a young whore to take part in a serious, occult effort to persuade the rocket-rattling minister to make love...
