A broke Philadelphia public defender takes a lucrative side job advising dancers at a strip club—only to discover his law licence is being used as cover for something far darker. With the savage wit of A Working Stiff’s Manifesto, Iain Levison delivers a darkly funny, razor-sharp noir comedy about justice, corruption, and survival.
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.
