Summary
When burned-out Houston tax attorney Clay Parker chucks it all for a job, sight-unseen, working for a tiny firm in dusty, small-town East Texas, he's searching for his lost integrity and a simpler life. Instead, he lands in the middle… of a bungled fraud case, defending the disreputable and downright nasty Bevo Rasnussen, who's accused of torching the stables housing his over-insured thoroughbred. Immediately confronted with corrupt officials, crazed survivalists, an incompetent hit man, an emu, and a naked county clerk, along with an assortment of vengeful wives and great barbecue, Clay discovers that nothing and no one is quite what they seem to be.
