The Card Sharp

By Robert Gust and Bob Gust

Amy Prescott is a farm girl trying to make her way in a Chicago law firm dominated by men. Her best chance for partnership comes when she is assigned to a shipping client that is experiencing losses to the point where the entire empire is in jeopardy. Amy struggles with office politics and believes that she has been assigned the work because it will cause her to quit or because she will not solve the problem. Her home-spun wisdom, card sense, and cunning courtroom instincts actually make her the perfect choice for the assignment.The suspects range from competitors, to the union, to insiders, to the lawyers and everyone else who makes money based on the misfortune of others. Amy travels up and down the Mississippi looking for answers. At every bend, new suspects appear. While others are dealing from the bottom of the deck, Amy always has a new trick up her sleeve.
