Lawyers … Chicago Private Detective Ron
Shade has a cop's inherent distrust of them,
even though it's been years since he was
relieved of his badge. Still, when his old
friend, Rick Walters, who happens to be a
member of the bar, needs help doing the
legwork for a wrongful death lawsuit, Shade
reluctantly agrees. Then he finds out they'll
be going up against the preeminent attorney
in Cook County, Mason Gilbert, and his
famous detective associate, Big John Flood.
The trial is in only three weeks and the first PI
on the case committed suicide midway
through. Or did he? As Shade begins, he's
hot on the trail of something very elusive in a
case like this: The truth. Then an opportunity
he's been dreaming of suddenly materializes:
a shot at the world heavyweight kickboxing
championship. Finding himself up against
some unbeatable opponents, Shade feels like
he's been swept up in a maelstrom. And this
time he finds out that the final judgment just
might be death.
