From Amazon:

The Criminal Defense Lawyer. Redefined. Martin H. Ehrengraf, dapper and diabolical, may be Lawrence Block's darkest creation. He's the defense attorney who never sees the inside of a courtroom, because all his clients are innocent--no matter how guilty they may seem. Some even believe themselves to be guilty: they remember pulling the trigger, or wiring the dynamite to their spouse's car, or holding the bloody blade. But things have a way of working out when Martin Ehrengraf is on the case. Evidence turns up, incriminating someone else. More murders occur, with the same M.O. And the gate of the jail cell opens, and the accused walks free. But be careful--hiring Martin Ehrengraf comes with a price. A high price, one that comes due even if he appears to have done nothing on your behalf. And you'd better be prepared to pay.

My Thoughts:

These dark little tales, a dozen to date, finds a lawyer that makes his clients innocent by whatever means necessary. He doesn't like courtrooms and leaving the decision to twelve people. As a result, he rarely appears in court, commanding large fees payable only if his client is absolved of all guilt. It's not Lawrence Blocks usual type of book but it was okay... little unbelievable...but okay. ( )
