Truth or Bare

by Richard Cahill

Ted McKeon, ironically known as “Speed” because he was the slowest member of his high school track team, is a perfectly affable, unlikely idealist, but his recent divorce, sexual proclivities, and dire financial straits lead him to dingy bars and fantasy parlors, where he cultivates a rather unsavory clientele. A lawyer who hates most other lawyers, he is reluctant to return to the legal big leagues but is persuaded to take the case of a lesbian exotic dancer who admits to killing her sometime lover. Defending his client, Speed discovers that corruption knows no boundaries, and he must navigate the slippery floors of seedy bars and posh corporate boardrooms with equal caution and skill. A gallery of unforgettable characters inhabit this darkly amusing, diabolically plotted crime story.
