The Becky A. Bartness How to Lose a Job Contest
After
working fourteen years as a successful criminal law attorney in
Chicago, Kate Williams leaves her job looking for a more stress-free
lifestyle. A recent vacation at an Arizona dude ranch entices her to
the state, and she accepts a position as a deputy county attorney in
Phoenix.
Within weeks of beginning her new position, Kate realizes that the
Maricopa County Attorney's Office is not the employee haven she'd hoped
it would be. Not only does her supervisor, County Attorney Stan
Rantwist, claim he receives his orders from a higher power, but his
sneaky assistant Alan White seems to have made it his life's work to
spy on Kate's professional and personal activities. Worst of all, it
looks like something illegal may be going on in the office. Kate
enlists the help of her oddball assistants-the tattooed and pierced MJ
Polowski and the germaphobic Marcus John Martinez-O'Reilly Ramirez,
otherwise known as Sam, to help her investigate a series of grossly
overcharged criminal cases.
When investigation of the improper charges leads Kate and her crew to
the discovery of more serious, widespread corruption Kate faces the
difficult decision of who to trust. Can she be sure that the handsome
Deputy Sheriff Bryan Turner is on her side when he offers to assist?
One misstep and it could be more than her career at stake.
