Fiona Gavelle is living in a dismal existence. She works in a dusty law office where she does more secretarial than lawyer work. Her husband thinks she should work and keep house simultaneously. On a snowy Chicago night, she learns she was unceremoniously booted from her crummy job, has the last argument with her spouse and moves in with her favorite aunt. With little to do she drives a friend to the funeral of a judge she didn’t know. Her influential friend finds her a new job and eventually sends her the probate case of the dead judge. Along the way she sees things that don’t fit, but blithely moves along from day to day. "Judge vs Nuts is a hilariously funny take on judges, but also a scathing indictment of judicial politics. Lawyer Fiona Gavelle narrates with a wonderful, self-deprecating wit, as she goes about unraveling the murder of a Cook County judge." --Barbara D’Amato, Author of Other Eyes, www.barbaradamato.com
