Cashed Out

By Michael H. Rubin

When you’re holding more than $4 million in cash of your dead client’s money, you’re everybody’s target.

“Schex” Schexnaydre was a failure as a lawyer. Until three weeks ago, he had no clients and no money-no clients except for infamous toxic waste entrepreneur G.G. Guidry, who’s just been murdered, and no money, except for the $4,452.737 in cash that Guidry had left with him for safekeeping.

When Schex’s estranged ex-wife, Taylor, is accused of Guidry’s murder, she pleads with Schex to defend her. He refuses, but the more he says no to Taylor, the deeper Schex gets dragged into the fallout from Guidry’s nefarious schemes, ending up as the target of all those vying to claim Guidry’s millions for themselves.
