With his Cadillac, an eight track filled with his favourite country songs and a folly of women, Steve Soutee is a happy man.

When he gets a call that the Judge wants to see him asap. He knows he's in for an interesting meeting. The judge has a problem that he only wants Soutee on. See a bailiff has run off with $25,000 only this bailiff is a friend of Soutee's. So he's sent to Memphis to find him and find out whats going on!!

This Lawyer doesn't mix his words and were along for the journey on this interesting mystery set in the late 70's. If you're looking for something a little different and don't mind short novella's this could be a read for you.

We Loved that we got a playlist at the end. This was a nice little added bonus to add along to the story. Both me and my husband are fans of Dale Wiley's writing and we're looking forward to see where Soutee goes next.

I didn't quite know what to make of this one while reading it, but there's just something about it that held my interest. It's a super fast (less than 1 hour) read, so it's perfect for a lunchtime story. Soutee is a lawyer and good ol' boy and has quite the adventure while trying to track down some stolen money. He's crude and sarcastic and it works. This one was a bit out of my wheelhouse, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
