By Advice of Counsel Completed

In the gritty courtrooms and tangled political backrooms of early twentieth-century New York, justice is often a commodity bought and sold. When corrupt police officers, predatory runners, and ruthless shysters collude to railroad defenseless innocents, the law becomes a weapon against the very people it ought to protect. Enter the unorthodox legal partnership of Tutt and Tutt. Standing between helpless underdogs and a merciless machine of municipal graft is Ephraim Tutt, a shrewd, stogy-smoking attorney with a warm heart and an encyclopedic grasp of legal technicalities. Alongside his sharp-witted partner, Tutt wields audacious courtroom maneuvers, folksy charm, and clever loopholes to outmaneuver crooked officials and turn rigged proceedings on their head. Witty, engaging, and brimming with human drama, this spirited collection invites readers into a lively arena where benevolence and brilliant trickery clash with institutional corruption.
