"T. C. Morrison’s writing is sharp, witty, and laugh-out-loud hysterical. He leans heavily into exaggerated personalities, with characters who speak in rapid-fire banter and constantly interrupt one another, heightening the humor. The pacing is brisk, moving from one absurd scenario to the next without lingering, making the novel feel like a comedic stage play unfolding in chapters." — Readers' Favorite
"Long but snappy court transcripts, depositions, and ridiculous press conferences keep the pages turning, the legalese and non-stop wordplay edging into patter comedy. Readers should expect laughs above all else." — Publishers Weekly, BookLife
"Theatrical lawyers navigate an elaborate government scheme in the jovial satirical novel" — Foreword Reviews
"An unapologetically over-the-top legal romp. ... At its best, the novel offers broad, knowingly ridiculous commentary on the intersection of law, celebrity, and spectacle in modern America." — Kirkus
“Pap” and “Pup” Peters, those intrepid tort lawyers whose hilarious exploits have delighted readers of the four prior books in this series, return with yet another round of legal shenanigans that will make you laugh until you cry.
Their latest exploits find them defending the eccentric Mona Lott, who has been arrested for disclosing classified information regarding the mysterious UFOs that have been sighted over the East Coast. Mona’s case eventually leads the brothers to being “persuaded” by the CIA to represent the Government in a lawsuit against Russia, its spy agency and some unsavory oligarchs for using drones to spy on US airbases and naval installations.
All the while the brothers maintain their lucrative class action practice by pursuing a shareholders’ class action case against the Walt Disney Company for the fiasco surrounding its remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and the inexplicable omission of the hit song “Some Day My Prince Will Come” from the movie. Settle into your favorite chair for the non-stop laughs.
A graduate of Otterbein University (Ohio) and New York University Law School, T. C. Morrison spent four years in the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps and then 46 years trying cases and arguing appeals around the country for three New York City law firms. Following retirement, he took up writing satirical novels about lawyers. The novels all feature the twin brothers Pap and Pup Peters who leave their respective New York City law firms to start up a small firm specializing in plaintiffs’ class actions.
