Marker Book

Nelson Connor has finally hit bottom: He must quit drinking or he will lose his career and family, not to mention what's left of his self-respect. Flunked-out art student Lawrence Gary and his explosive prison pal Torino Dentz are also changing their ways. Newly paroled, they've sworn off petty crime and are looking for the score that will lead them to the big time. They think they've found it when the perfect pigeon enters their sights - a boozed-up judge who has left some incriminating evidence behind after his latest bender. All it takes is a murder, a frame-up, and a demand for a hundred grand. But Gary and Dentz have miscalculated. Nelson Connor is sober now. He has the powers of the bench and the help of his clever pals from Alcoholics Anonymous. Connor not only wants to salvage his life, he wants to regain his honor. And he's not about to let a couple of blackmailing thugs stand in his way.
