Review Snippet
"Cahill has introduced an enticing character in Speed; he’s flawed, funny, and apparently hell-bent on making sure his life never goes completely right. Let’s hope this debut novel isn’t the last we hear from him."

Synopsis
Pimps, peep shows, drug dealers and back-room “dancers”—these are bread and butter for the oddly idealistic, recently divorced, financially challenged, sexually hungry and perfectly likable San Diego lawyer awaiting a hearing before the Ethics Committee for suborning a witness.
Persuaded to return to the legal big leagues by taking on the case of a lesbian dancer who admits to killing her sometime lover, Speed discovers that sleaze is where you find it, from the slippery floors of seedy downtown whack shacks, to the penthouse offices of the rich and unscrupulous.
