Strippers Always Need Legal Advice
Iain Levison
A thousand dollars an hour.
Hard to say no when you're a public defender spending your days — Sundays included — on the depressing files of small-time crooks. Then negotiating sentences with a prosecutor who's more powerful than you and considerably less competent. So Justin Sykes, worn down by the grind, accepts: one evening a week advising the dancers at a gentlemen's club, and a night across the street at the motel. Without asking too many questions. Because everyone knows — strippers always need legal advice.
Darkly funny and savagely current, Iain Levison turns the American justice system into a carnival of greed, hypocrisy, and survival.
