Product Description
A mini flu epidemic going around in Southern California has taken its toll among Superior Court Judges in Santa Monica, who all seem to have been infected at the same conference they attended.
This judge shortage requires the county to ‘draft’ some experienced trial lawyers to fill in, and attorney Peter Sharp gets the call to fill in as a temporary judge for some civil matters, but winds up getting stuck hearing a big criminal trial involving a devious attorney as the defendant.
Suspense enters the picture when Peter’s legal ward Suzi fails to appear as guest of honor at her own 13th birthday party, and every local state and Federal peace officer in California wants to help locate her. This is the first adventure in which Suzi’s Saint Bernard can take partial credit for solving the case.
Peter Sharp’s small law firm operates from his 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… and, in one way or another, each of Peter’s cases winds up becoming a conflict with his ex-wife Myra, who is the county’s chief prosecutor.
All thirteen of the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries are now available in both print and Kindle versions. For more details and Amazon.com ordering information, visit www.LegalMystery.com
