About this audiobook
Douglas Rigby, attorney-at-law, is bankrupt. He’s just sunk his last $200,000—a clandestine “loan” from his last
remaining client, former bigshot TV exec Glenn Haskill—into a cocaine deal gone wrong. The lesson? Never trust
anyone else with the dirty work. Desperate to get back on top, Rigby formulates an art forgery scheme involving one
of Glenn’s priceless paintings, a victimless crime. But for Rigby to pull this one off, he’ll need to negotiate a whole cast
of players with their own agendas, including his wife, his girlfriend, an embittered art forger, Glenn’s resentful nurse,
and the man’s money-hungry nephew. One misstep, and it all falls apart—will he be able to save his skin?
Written with hard-knock sensibility and wicked humor, Scott Phillips’s newest novel will cement him as one of the
great crime writers of the 21st century.

If you like Elmore Leonard books, you will enjoy That Left Turn at Albuquerque!
This book was very funny, with a cast of characters who are all bad to their core, who will back stab everyone involved in a scheme to get rich off of a dying old man- who is also a horrible person, by selling a painting he has that he thinks is worth 1/1000 what it is actually worth.The characters are over the top with zero morals,
The dying former Hollywood producer
His violent sleazebag attorney
The attorneys wife
The nephew of the dying man
The lawyers girlfriend
The lawyers wife’s boyfriend
The art history major who happens to be an assistant to the dying producer
I loved this book!
