The Twin Towers

Excerpt From The Lincoln Lawyer (Photo by Wendy Werris)

     "Gloria Dayton from Twin Towers."
     I groaned. The Twin Towers was the county's main lockup in downtown. It housed women in one tower and men in the other. Gloria Dayton was a high-priced prostitute who needed my legal services from time to time. The first time I represented her was at least ten years earlier, when she was young and drug free and still had life in her eyes. Now she was a pro bono client. I never charged her. I just tried to convince her to quit the life.

From Chapter 6:
     The Lincoln pulled to a stop when I closed the phone. We were in front of the Twin Towers jail facility. It wasn't even ten years old but the smog was beginning to permanently stain its sand-colored walls a dreary gray. It was a sad and forbidding place that I spent too much time in. I opened the car door and got out to go inside once again.
