About This Book
A series of interlinked short narratives centers on a venerable law firm and its senior and junior partners as they confront an assortment of legal and moral puzzles, from murder and petty crime to atmospheric episodes set in Chinatown. Each tale highlights the unpredictability of human behavior, the tension between legal formalism and messy reality, and recurring ethical dilemmas, combining courtroom procedure with anecdotal, often wry observations on character and consequence.
