Behind-the-scenes with television's famous detective, Petrocelli

ALBANY, Ga. - Dec. 29, 2017 - PRLog -- BearManor Media announces the release of Petrocelli San Remo Justice by Sandra Grabman.

Fictional attorney Anthony Petrocelli was first introduced by Barry Newman in The Lawyer (1970), loosely based on real life Sam Shepperd, a neurosurgeon initially convicted for the 1954 brutal bludgeoning murder of his wife, Marilyn. The success of a sequel, Night Games (1974), led to the television series spinoff, Petrocelli (1974-1976), again starring Newman, and also including Susan Howard, Albert Salmi, and David Huddleston. Each episode followed the search for clues to how and why a crime occurred.

Author Sandra Grabman explores the series' history, development, cast, and critical reception, as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses, a trivia chapter, and the stars' post-series lives.

Illustrated with 50 photos. Episode guide. Foreword by Barry Newman. Introduction by Max Allan Collins. Index.
