Call it “O,J.’s Book Club”: O.J. Simpson's arrest for double homicide and ensuing trial have inspired enough volumes to fill a full library wing.

Virtually everyone associated with the case felt compelled to tell their story in print: the lead attorneys for the defense and the prosecution, the victims’ family members, the investigating detectives, the jurors, journalists assigned to the case, legal armchair quarterbacks, friends, hangers-on, even Simpson himself.
