Family Issues

The things people will do for money. This lawyer stays in the depths of crime, just like Perry Mason and in Matlock.

Easy going criminal script that's short, full of action and wit. Just enough antics to make you go to the next book.

Mitch goes to Thomas Warner’s apartment at the request of his client, Fred Samuelson.

Fred’s been accused of murder; Thomas can allegedly prove Fred’s innocence.

Thomas gives some wild-sounding information to Mitch and we begin.

Unfortunately, the story is super basic. The pacing and flow are solid, but the entire plot is telegraphed from a mile away.

Obvious and overly simplistic.
