Violent Ward: Len Deighton

Downtown LA. Streetwise lawyer Mickey Murphy has a shabby office in a low-rent district, an ex who bleeds him dry and the kind of clients who would plead the Fifth if they could count that high. He`s also been bought out by millionaire tycoon Zach Petrovitch - who just happens to be married to the love of Mickey`s life. When she asks him for help, Mickey finds himself thrown into a world of Hollywood stars, shady schemes, riots - and murder.
