When lawyer Rick Redman's boss puts him on the Jules Fitzgibbon case, Rick suspects he's being set up - the murder victim was found dead after an argument with a young man with an unhealthy fondness for sharp implements. But Jules' father is an important client, so Rick turns to someone he can trust for help - Dorita, a leggy dame with a sharp wit. Meanwhile, with Rick's wife slowly drinking herself to death, Rick escapes to his bar, where he meets Jake, who asks him to join a high-stakes poker game. But like everything else in Rick's complicated life, there's more to Jake than meets the eye. Some descriptions of sex, some violence, strong language. 2006.
