A born salesman, Leo Feldman can peddle anything from clothing and appliances to prostitutes, guns, and drugs. Although guilty of myriad crimes, Feldman is sentenced to prison as the result of a clerical error that charged him with a crime he did not commit. Now, completely vulnerable to the inmates who surround him--and to the stern Warden Fisher--Feldman must come to terms with what it means to be jailed not for his crimes, but for his character.

 

Wry and insightful, A Bad Man is an engrossing story of an antihero's journey through the twisted world of an unforgiving penal system.
