As they try to avoid Rodrigo's cohorts and try to work out a solution to get him out of jail, and themselves off the hook, they are also juggling their regular caseload of local drug lords, hookers, and pimps.  They know all the loopholes in the local court system, and their shenanigans kept me in suspense and laughing all the way through this very different series of capers through the legal system and the mean streets of Camden, New Jersey.

Mickie is instinctively a ladies man, and Junne is a closet homosexual, and even Mickie, his best friend and partner, doesn't know. Mickie tries to set Junne up with various ladies throughout the story, and that is the least successful part of this novel.

Reading about these two wisecracking defense lawyers could be highly addictive, and I predict great things for Ron Liebman as a novelist, with his wonderful talent for dialogue. He knows his way around the court system and has created a plot that puts the characters in unexpected predicaments with solutions that kept me laughing and turning the pages.  Death by Rodrigo is one of the most entertaining books I have read.  I'll be watching for more by this writer.
