The Forensic

A Captivating Story

In this memoir, American business tycoon, movie director, producer, and aviator Howard R. Hughes Jr. and his pugnacious attorney, Chester Davis, were brought down by a brilliant and passionate attorney, John Bales Clark, and a diligent and talented young CPA, Paul Regan.


Clark and Regan battled to restore what was wrongfully taken by Hughes and Davis from their clients, the shareholders of Air West.
