In her never-ending quest to log more billable hours,
Sarasota lawyer Lilly Cleary agrees to defend Angus and
Miguel, two fervent environmentalists who are being sued for
libeling . . . an orange! In the Sunshine State,
people take their citrus seriously—and there are powerful
interests that refuse to sit idly by while a pair of
whistle-blowing rabble rousers demean Florida's main cash
crop.
Though the orange affair isn't quite the
juicy case Lilly was looking for, it gets a lot stickier
when one of the defendants is blown to bits right in front
of her. Not one to take losing a case—or a client—lightly,
whole-grain-loving, toxin-phobic Lilly will stop at nothing
to get to the truth behind this and assorted other related
murders. Which won't be easy, since everyone is
lying—including the surviving environmentalist, who just
happens to have an advanced degree from the University of
the Streets . . . in bomb-making.
