Mystery
Nicky Rigopoulos is a slick personal injury lawyer who
sells out his clients to finance his campaign for state
court judge in Syracuse, New York. When his law partner is
murdered, Nicky finds himself the target of a police
investigation. To make matters worse, his lover won’t
confirm his alibi, and his estranged wife would rather see
him in jail. As he and his iron-woman defense lawyer
scramble to muster a legal defense, the murderer strikes
again. Nicky knows that, if he is to stay out of prison, he
must catch the killer before being caught by the police. So
he goes undercover during the middle of his campaign. To
Nicky, “undercover” means over the top. He dresses like a
Hell’s Angel before riding into a trailer park to face a
disgruntled client. He dresses like a suburban cowboy
before moseying into the Turning Stone Casino, hot on the
trail of a down-on-his-luck kemo sabe. And he dresses like
a psychotic football fan before leading police on a high-
speed foot chase through the Carrier Dome. Along the way,
he meets a milk-chugging frat boy, an accountant-by-day
bookie, and an economist-turned-stripper-turned-bartender.
The truth they help Nicky uncover surprises even the
Syracuse police detective bent on bringing him to justice.
Dark Horse is a fast-paced legal mystery that assembles a
cast of colorful characters, drops them into the drama of
local politics, and adds plenty of humor.
