Product Description

Attorney Peter Sharp encounters some new experiences in this adventure, 6th in the 13-book series. The first is having a client with amnesia, who not only can’t tell Peter what his own name is, but who also has absolutely no recollection of the crime he is charged with committing. In lieu of his memory, Peter obtains video surveillance footage that unfortunately establishes his client’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Peter’s other new experience is that of an instructor. An old classmate of his now conducts seminars on preparation for the California State Bar’s first-year law students’ examination, and has asked Peter to come in as a guest lecturer. One of the students there becomes an asset on a particular case.

As in past adventures, Peter’s usual crew also gets involved, including his close friend Stuart, Jack Bibberman the investigator, Laverne the ‘amorous houseboat lady’, and Stuart’s employees Vinnie and Olive – who are having some disagreement as to whether or not they’re legally married - and last but not least little Suzi B. and her big Saint Bernard.

The law firm operates from their 50-foot Grand Banks trawler yacht in Marina del Rey, California… the vessel that Peter still doesn’t know how to drive, and as in their past adventures, all involved continue to visit the local haunts.

One way or another each of Peter’s cases winds up being another conflict with his ex-wife Myra, who is the county’s chief prosecutor. He also may be more closer involved with FBI Special Agent in Charge Bob Snell than before, as they share a dangerous high-speed situation on the winding Sepulveda, up by Mulholland Drive.

Suzi’s new friend Lotus and her mother also play an interesting part in this adventure as Peter also finds that he is fighting a ring of credit-card fraud experts.

All thirteen of the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries are now available. For more details and Amazon.com ordering information, visit www.LegalMystery.com

More About the Author

Gene Grossman was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in the North side neighborhood of Albany Park, attending Hibbard Elementary and Von Steuben High School. He pursued majors in psychology, chemistry and mathematics at Wright Junior College, Roosevelt University and Illinois Institute of Technology - all the while working his way through high school and college by playing piano in clubs on Chicago's then-famous "Rush Street."

After moving to Southern California, he worked his way through law school playing piano, and appeared as a musician in seven major motion pictures.

While slowly building his law practice, Gene purchased a truckload of movie equipment (a 5-ton grip & light package) that he rented out to flim production companies.

Always having been interested in boating, getting divorced prompted him to move onto a 45-foot Chris Craft motor yacht in Marina del Rey California, instead of into an apartment.

Years later, while serving as navigator on a yacht delivery from the U.S. to Tortola, Gene wrote his first book, Celestial Navigation for Dummies (some time before the popular series of 'Dummies' books was created). He used his own production equipment to shoot a video on the subject Celestial Navigation, Sextant Use and the Sun Noon Shot and at the same time unintentionally started the nautical video industry.

Over the next few years he followed that first title up with more than 30 other educational video titles (now in DVD format) now all featured on BoatingDVDs.com, one of 93 different domains his production company maintains on the internet, featuring many categories of educational programs (MagicLampDVDs.com).

Having moved on from doing scripts for his video productions, Gene turned to writing fiction, and now spends most of his time in the marina on his yacht, the "Magic Lamp," where he created the 15-book series of Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries, all now available on Amazon through LegalMystery.com.

In addition to the 15 Peter Sharp novels, Gene compiled a group of fiction and non-fiction titles that he has either written or edited for others, plus some classic stories: the publishing company he formed (MagicLampPress.com) now has more than 50 books in print, with 35 of them written by Gene under his own name or several pen names that he humorously keeps secret.

His latest venture is a company that provides financing for post-production (completion) of motion pictures - www.FilmCompletionFinance.com
