Book excerpt: Round Two from the amazing life and times of legendary South Florida attorney Lewis Ress takes readers from Brooklyn in the 1940s via a spell in a top-secret Army Department (and a transatlantic solo flight in a replica Spirit of St Louis) to adventures in and out of the courtroom in a sometimes rougher-than-ready Fifties and Sixties Miami. Fans of Strange Cases and Wild Tales will need no introduction to the author's brilliant and fast-paced story telling laced with salty evocations of the human carnival of the era and shot through with compassionate insight. From a failed campaign for Congress (he lost to the local machine, much to his wife's relief) to the brief but memorable career of Herbie the Chiropractor; from advising the heir to Colonel Sanders (and falling out with Buddy Hackett) to night-time jogging with Vitas Gerulaitis, the stories keep on coming. Larry, the charismatic wheeler-dealer from the last book, needs to be rescued from yet another risky deal. A bridge-playing mobster needs help to find his missing daughter? All this and more, along with sage advice against buying a lottery ticket-you might win. Welcome to Round Two!
