Boozers, Ballcocks & Bail

When Steve and his partner Wilf set up their legal practice, they aren't expecting the high life - 1980's Rotherham Magistrate's Court is no Old Bailey. But they aren't expecting such weird and wonderful lowlifes, either..."Boozers, Ballcocks & Bailis" the first of legendary criminal lawyer Steve Smith's comic series, in which Steve recounts with gusto their sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic and sometimes plain bizarre experiences both in and outside the criminal justice system, and the colourful characters they meet along the way. From incurably lacenous but oddly likeable Jack Heptonstall to the Bird Man of Rotherham - not to mention Spider, Pagey and an incontinent chimpanzee - the 'legal James Herriot' takes the reader on a rollercoaster of laughter and tears as he depicts human nature at its best - and worst.
