About
In this next electrifying thriller from up-and-coming author Mark Arsenault, former journalist and beaten-down gambler, Billy Povich, returns to aid Martin Smothers, the Patron Lawyer of Hopeless Causes.
Martin's old law partner, the well-respected superior court judge Gilbert Harmony, has been shot by a thief who dies in a car crash. The cops close the case, but Martin doesn't believe a two-bit shoplifter would suddenly kill a judge, somebody must have paid him to do it.
The suspects range from a vengeful mobster to a jealous brother to the judge's widow, and, oops, his mistress and her son. And, as Billy comes closer to the truth, it isn't long before the killer takes aim at him.
