Praise for Iain Levison:"The real deal . . . bracing, hilarious and dead on."--The New York Times Book Review"Witty, deft, well-conceived writing that combines sharp satire with real suspense."--Kirkus Reviews"Levison writes tight, punchy prose, with deadpan humor and savvy."--The Wall Street JournalPhilip Dixon is down on his luck. An escape from a lucrative but botched bank robbery lands him bleeding and on the verge of collapse in a college town in New Hampshire. How can he find a place to hide out in this innocent setting? Peering into the window of the nearest house, he sees a glimmer of hope: a man in his mid-thirties, obviously some kind of academic, is rolling around on the living room floor with an attractive high-school student. Professor Elias White is then blackmailed into harboring a dangerous fugitive, as Dixon--with a cool quarter-million in his bag and dreams of Canada in his head--gets ready for the last phase of his escape.But the last phase is always the hardest. Attractive and persistent FBI agent Denise Lupo is on his trail. As for Elias White, his surprising transition from respected academic to willing accomplice poses a ruthless threat that Dixon would be foolish to underestimate."...Funny and acerbic, and crackles with raw energy."--The Sunday Times (UK)Iain Levison was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1963. Since moving to the United States, he has worked as a fisherman, carpenter, and cook, and he has detailed his woes of wage slavery in A Working Stiff’s Manifesto. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Justin Sykes is a Philadelphia public defender who’s drowning: endless cases, miserable pay, and a justice system rigged in favour of the powerful. When Marcus—a smooth strip-club owner with immaculate manners—offers him $1,000 an hour to give legal advice to his dancers, Justin knows it sounds too good to be true. But he’s broke, exhausted, and out of options.At first, it’s easy money: a few questions, a few nights at the Kitties Gentlemen’s Club, a motel across the street. Then things begin to feel wrong. Money moves quietly. People vanish from view. And Justin’s law licence seems to be doing more work than he is.Trapped between the courts and the criminal economy they quietly enable, Justin finds himself inside two systems that operate by the same rules. With the savage wit and moral clarity familiar from novels such as A Working Stiff’s Manifesto and The Big Combo, Iain Levison turns the American justice system into a darkly funny carnival of greed, hypocrisy, and survival.For readers of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and fans of Better Call Saul, Strippers Always Need Legal Advice blends biting satire with low-level criminality and moral compromise. Levison’s trademark humour and working-class rage expose an American justice system where the law is flexible, the pay is terrible, and integrity comes at a price.
