Lawyers are real people but not nearly as real as circus performers. This is the story of a young lawyer, a beautiful circus performer and a murder. Typical fiction formulas are thrown out the mobile home window and the reader is taken through the hell of one lawyer's life. You meet circus folk, ventriloquist dummies, waitresses at adult bookstores, dirty old men who watch the fishing channel at boarding houses, and jurors. Accurate, honest and fictional. This is the book you'll suggest to others but deny reading.
