When his popular hip-hop artist client blackmailed, Crang stumbles on a porn operation and an unexpected case of murder.
Crang loves vodka, jazz, and his girlfriend, Annie, and not necessarily in that order. He’s also the kind of smart-talking criminal lawyer who doesn’t mind chasing down unorthodox cases. That makes him just the guy to represent a famous hip-hop performer who’s on the wrong end of a blackmail scheme. It doesn’t strike Crang as a confounding case, but in no time, he finds himself confronting an organized gang that deals in porn, stock swindles, and murder. Things get so messy that Crang decides he’ll have to bend the laws and try a couple of break-and-enter jobs of his own. This turns out to get Crang and Maury, his retired burglar pal, in more hot water than they counted on. It’s a dilemma that would cause other lawyers to back away, but not Crang, the nervy attorney with the fast mouth.
