A THOUSAND DOLLARS AN HOUR. It’s hard to refuse such an offer when you’re a public defender in Philadelphia spending your days – Sundays included – working on the depressing files of smalltime crooks. Then negotiating sentences with a prosecutor who’s way 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. Without asking too many questions. Because everyone knows – strippers always need legal advice.

BETTER CALL SAUL MEETS ELMORE LEONARD: Darkly funny and savagely current, Iain Levison turns the American justice system into a carnival of greed, hypocrisy, and survival. Like Better Call Saul, the story blends legal absurdity, moral compromise, and dark comedy; like Elmore Leonard, it delivers razor-sharp dialogue, low-level crooks, and escalating tension without gunfire.
