The Last Billable Hour Book

It's the 1980s, and Tweedmore & Slyde is the hottest law firm in red-hot Silicon Valley, where the computer industry is creating new ways to mint money. Tweedmore's lawyers are masters at carving out their own little slices of that pie, putting in 18-hour days to protect the interests of their staggeringly wealthy clientele. Pudgy and perpetually rumpled, Howard Rickover is an unlikely addition to the Tweedmore tank of sharply dressed sharks. But when one of the sharks is stabbed to death, the scrappy no-nonsense homicide detective inexplicably selects Howard to run an inside job, helping her to flush out the murderer. Will wits and chemistry be enough to allow this unlikely duo to find the killer before the killer finds them?

When legal shark Leo Slyde was murdered, Howard Rickover, the new associate at Tweedmore and Slyde, found himself recruited by Inspector Sarah Nelson as an inside informant. Overnight he was delving into assorted scandals, cover-ups and feuds--and hoping he wouldn't end up in the killer's net himself! Martin's.
