The Common Law

de Gene Grossman

Peter Sharp is an attorney who lives on a boat, but doesn't even know how to start its engines. He also thinks he's a pretty good lawyer, but behind the scenes, his legal ward Suzi is really the brains behind his solving crimes and winning cases.If you think you can match wits with a little, 13-year old computer whiz, and find out who the guilty people really are, then you'll enjoy the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries created by Gene Grossman, a former trial attorney who unlike Peter Sharp, really knows how to start his boat's engines.This is the Sixth of Peter Sharp's Legal Adventures, and in it, Peter Sharp represents a client with amnesia. He can’t tell Peter what his own name is, and has absolutely no recollection of the crime he is charged with committing. In lieu of his memory, Peter’s obtains video surveillance footage that establishes his client’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.One way or another each of Peter’s cases winds up being a conflict with his ex-wife Myra, who is the county’s chief prosecutor. He also gets more closely involved with FBI Special Agent in Charge Bob Snell than before, as they participate in a dangerous high-speed situation on a winding road, chasing after the bad guys.Suzi’s new friend Lotus and her IRS-employee mother also play an interesting part in this adventure when Peter finds that he is also fighting a ring of credit-card fraud experts.
