That Demon Life is a comic tale of lust and laziness, of crime and competence-and incompetence. It’s the story of Linda Smallwood, a sometimes depressed, always difficult, Austin criminal defense lawyer, who finds that her life is mired in a series of ridiculous crises. Over the course of a grueling week, Linda encounters a parade of slackers, thugs, and eccentrics-hookers, cab drivers, and political fixers of various stripes-as she loses her job, falls back into a ‘romance’ with her presently married ex-fiancé, and persuades her best friend to seduce and blackmail the judge she holds responsible for her misfortunes.
