Anything for a Quiet Life

Jonas Pickett, lawyer and commissioner of oaths, is nearing retirement, but still has lots of energy.

He soon finds that he is overwhelmed with clients and some of them involve him in very odd and sometimes dangerous cases. This collection of interlinked stories tells how these cases are brought to a conclusion, and range from an incredible courtroom drama involving a gipsy queen to terrorist thugs who make their demands at gunpoint. words : 80558
