Criminal law is a mainstay of books and TV shows, think John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey through to L A Law and Boston Legal.
But novelist Les Allen's drawing on his time with legal firms, where private clients and businesses needed legal representation.
If That's What It Takes is set in the early 1980s. It features an unlikely pairing: Jim, a small town, decent Northland lawyer and Sean an unlicensed private investigator, who's not afraid to get his hands dirty when an unscrupulous businessman comes on their radar.
If That's What It Takes by Les Allen is self published.
