"Charlie Webb is a third-rate lawyer who graduated from a third-rate law school and, because he couldn't get hired by any of the major law firms, he's opened his own law firm. Described as a leaky boat floating down the stream of life, Charlie has led an unremarkable life, personally and professionally. Until he's appointed to be the attorney for a decidedly crackpot artist who calls himself Guido Sabatini (born Lawrence Weiss). Sabatini has been arrested -- again -- for breaking into a restaurant and stealing back a painting he sold them because he was insulted by where it was displayed. But as Lawrence Weiss, he's also an accomplished card shark and burglar and while he was there, he stole a thumb drive from the owner's safe. Not knowing what else Sabatini has stolen, Webb negotiates the return of the painting and "other items" in exchange for the owner dropping charges against Sabatini. But the contents of the flash drive threaten very powerful figures, and there are others who have a violent grudge against Sabatini. When a minor theft case becomes a major double homicide and more, Charlie Webb -- an insignificant lawyer assigned to an insignificant case -- is faced with the most important, and deadliest, case of his life." -- Back cover.
