<br/><br/> Lefty Wright had it all figured out. In fact, he was doing the math as he crawled into the deserted house through the kitchen window. Get to the bedroom, crack open the wall safe, and grab the envelope. Fifteen minutes. 1000 a minute. Nice score. What Lefty neglected to figure in were the unknowns-like the dead body of a prominent San Francisco judge stuffed beneath the bed. When the police nab him red-handed, Lefty finds himself charged with first-degree murder with no shoes, no one believing him, and only one phone call. He calls Jake Diamond.
