The Complete City Attorney's Office Series

Book One: Professional Camouflage: Book Two: The Land of Lollipops and Suckers

The City Attorneys' Office series started off as a goof, and a way for author, Christopher Stockwell, to process the annoyance and irritation of working as a municipal criminal prosecutor. It became much more than that. The story follows a love triangle between Ben, Maria, and Erin. These three are the legs holding up a stool loaded with satirical, absurdist, and transgressive observations. Through that common storytelling device of the love triangle, Stockwell is able weave in the social commentary that is the true point of the series.

Ben is a miscreant, a working-class kid who never should have wound up as a lawyer at all. Professional camouflage hid that fact for a long time. His pragmatic approach to the prosecutor's job often leaves him at odds with the suckers inhabiting the Land of Lollipops. Have a look behind the curtain. Most people think being a criminal lawyer is like what they see on Law & Order. It' not. It's like what you see on Better Call Saul. Enjoy!
