Peter Sharp isn't your usual type of attorney unless you consider getting divorced, disbarred, thrown out of your house, and disgraced, all normal for a practicing lawyer. In this first of the series, we join Peter while he tries to find out who framed him, why his wife threw him out, and how to make ends meet.

He also gets involved with a case of Negligent Nymphomania, a ground-breaking new tort cause of action Peter finds himself drawn into. Making matters worse is the fact that his sole source of income - a former classmate, winds up dead; the man accused of murder by jealousy winds up his romantic rival, and Peter winds up getting appointed legal guardian of a precocious 12-year old girl who tries to solve the crimes before Peter and the police can.

Attorney Peter Sharp gets retained to defend a man accused of capital murder. The thing that makes this case a little harder to defend than most others are that the client's acts were cap-tured on videotape, he confessed to the police, and he wants to plead guilty.

To make matters worse, the District Attorney's office has brought in a special prosecutor for the trial: Peter's ex-wife Myra. Peter is also hired to represent an insurance company, to defend it against a man who slipped and fell while inside a bank that was coincidentally robbed later that same day.

In this adventure, while Peter is involved repre-senting Vinnie, the prolific, peeing pornographer. He also helps solve several bank robberies by catching the entire gang, and meets a gentleman who runs an autopsy store - all with the help of his legal ward, the adorable twelve-year-old computer wizard Suzi.

In this third Adventure, Attorney Peter Sharp is retained to represent a man accused of murder by the planting of bombs in vehicles. The client is also suspected of being part of a conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States in an upcoming Fourth of July parade.

With the assistance of his legal ward Suzi, Peter cracks the case, identifies the real murderer, and at the same time solves the mystery of a dead body found in his friend Stuart's automobile trunk... all while falling for a lesbian lawyer, winning a Will contest, breaking up a stolen car ring 4,000 miles away, and battling with his ex-wife, who has been elected to the office of District Attorney.

In the adventure's hectic finale, Suzi manages to get Bernie, her huge Saint Bernard into a courtroom, where she makes her first official court appearance, holds her first press conference, and becomes a local television hero. ISBN: 1882629-66-3

Suzi once again saves Peter's case by finding the connection between two crimes that allegedly took place in different parts of the State, one of which Peter was arrested for. And once again, Peter falls for a woman who he thinks could really 'be the one' this time.

Peter's ex-wife Myra must make the decision as to whether or not she should resign from prosecution of a case in which she may have a conflict of interest - the prosecution of Peter's murder charge.

Everyone including Peter is sitting on the edge of their chairs as this double murder mystery comes to a shocking conclusion that involves a mafia hit man, revengeful drug dealers, a local police chief, and the ever-popular FBI. ISBN:1882629-09-4

It's tough enough defending innocent people, but attorney Peter Sharp's new client has a reputation for disliking any person of color, and is then arrested with a smoking gun, standing over the body of a dead black man he had recently been seen arguing with.

To make matters even worse, the district attorney (Peter's bitter ex-wife) has proved that the defendant's gun is in fact the murder weapon, and that both the accused and deceased were in the building alone when the shooting took place.

Peter has no defense for his client, and gets that sinking feeling every lawyer gets when forced to start a trial without having anything to say on behalf of a client who refuses to accept any plea bargain.

Will Suzi comes to the rescue this time? The final courtroom scene is a stunner. ISBN:1882629-51-5

Peter Sharp represents a client with amnesia. Not only is he unable to tell Peter his name, but also has absolutely no recollection of the crime he is charged with committing. Not to worry: Peter obtains video surveillance footage proving his client's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

As usual, this is one of Peter's cases that winds up being a conflict with his ex-wife Myra, who is the county's chief prosecutor. He also may be more closely involved with FBI Special Agent in Charge Bob Snell than before, as they share a dangerous high-speed situation on a winding road. Suzi's new friend Lotus and her mother also play an interesting part in this adventure as Peter finds that he is fighting a ring of credit-card fraud and identity-theft experts. ISBN:1882629-39-6

There are many types of mysteries, but one stands out over all the others: the ones involving a Locked Room.

Over the years, every mystery writer worth his salt has tried to come up with the one that tops all the rest: the secret compartments, the doors locked from the inside, the confused timeline, etc., etc, etc. Jacques Futrelle set the standard with his "Problem in Cell 13," but there hasn't been a really fine stumper since then... Until now.

Gene Grossman seems to have created a locked room mystery to end all locked room mysteries: not only is the room locked - it is a steel security room from which entry or escape is physically impossible.

The crime is actually seen by several witnesses, but the murderer has disappeared into thin air. If this mystery is to be solved, nobody has a better chance of doing it than a 12-year-old computer whiz: an adorable little Chinese girl who is the legal ward of attorney Peter Sharp.

The Santa Monica Superior Court is suffering from a flu epidemic affecting most of the judges, who all got infected while attending a judicial seminar overseas.

To help cover their courtroom caseloads, several local trial attorneys are 'drafted' into service. One of them is Peter Sharp, who is assigned to preside over a high profile civil case involving an attorney with whom Peter and Suzi have had past conflicts.

Notwithstanding their history, all parties agree to let Peter hear the case... and the final conclusion winds up 35 miles outside of Los Angeles, with Peter pointing a revolver at someone's head.

This is the first time in his life that Peter has been in a situation like this, but he feels it is justified because it is to protect someone very dear to him.

You'll be sitting on the edge of your chair as this page-turner forces you to keep reading to its conclusion. ISBN:1882629-72-8

In Latin, the word "alibi" literally means "somewhere else," and to any person charged with a crime, it is an extremely valuable asset to have, because it can mean the difference between an acquittal and a conviction.

However, just having an alibi isn't enough: it has to stand up to scrutiny, because any good prosecutor knows that breaking an alibi and proving it was fraudulently concocted can lead a sure-thing conviction.

In this eleventh adventure of the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries, Peter is forced into a role he never thought he'd be playing: that of a prosecutor. ISBN:1882629-84-1

Magic Lamp's skipper Gene Grossman explains how easy it is to use Celestial Navigation to find your way around the world at sea with a sextant.

The creator of Magic Lamp Production's Safe Boating Series uses plain English with no complicated definitions or mathematics to show how similar celestial navigation is to coastal piloting, and why not to be 'afraid' of what everyone thinks is a mysterious subject that they absolutely cannot learn.

Once you see how easy it is to learn celestial navigation, you will realize how important it is to keep an inexpensive plastic sextant on board at all times (plus a Nautical Almanac), as a back-up to your sophisticated electronic navigational equipment - stuff that won't do you any good when the battery fails.

This is novel, written by the same person who created the "Phantom of the Opera" is reportedly on of the best 'locked-room' mysteries written during the 1900's, and inspired Agatha Christie to write her first book.

The Lane Fleming collection of early pistols and revolvers was one of the best in the country. When Fleming was found dead on the floor of his locked gunroom, a confederate-made Colt-type percussion .36 revolver in his hand, the coroner's verdict was "death by accident," But Gladys Fleming had her doubts... enough
to engage Colonel Jefferson Davis Rand - a pistol collector himself, to catalogue, appraise, and negotiate the sale of her late husband's collection.

There were a number of people who had wanted the collection, but had anyone wanted it badly enough to kill Fleming? And if so, how had he done it?

Tony Gillingham arrives at the Red House moments after a gunshot is heard. The room is locked, the murderer has disappeared and, in Tony's opinion, the police are going about it the wrong way.
