A Young Lawyer's Story John Ellsworth

Your first job out of school will be to...spy on your boss. Welcome to the government. There is no job description and the job isn't advertised anywhere, not even on the Job Board at Georgetown Law. But Thaddeus Murfee just graduated from law school and has $200 left from his student loan. He is so broke he has to borrow his roommate's suit for the job interview. While he is so desperate to earn rent and food money, he fails to nail down exactly what it is he'll be doing. They tell him a U. S. Attorney is selling government secrets. But Thaddeus Murfee likes his new boss, the U. S. Attorney. Good things happen and gifts flow his way. What's not to like? The government lawyer even has a daughter he wants Thaddeus to meet. Were the people who hired him just totally wrong about the attorney selling government secrets? What proof do they actually have of this serious accusation? This thrilling collection of good-lawyers/bad-lawyers will keep you up late at night. Beware: you might show up late for work. But when you get to work you just might find everyone talking about this new, exciting romp through the backstreets of Washington, D. C. On one side, a new, innocent lawyer just out of school. On the other side, the full force and might of the U. S. government. Welcome aboard!Previously published as Thaddeus Murfee
