Bingo, Lawsuit

About the Book

Deanna Beguile owns L.A.'s Psychic Hotloin (a combination of telephone psychics and sex talk).  The former pop music diva Deanna's comeback singing career is being fueled by this phone-in, cash-cow business.  Deanna is an actual psychic with the ability to see into the future, but her psychic talents are not for sale.  The Psychic Hotloin is a simple but effective scam that allows the six foot five inch, platinum blonde Deanna, the opportunity to flash and burn her emerald green eyes into the public consciousness via a bombarding advertising campaign.  Her goal?  To climb back to the top of the music business as a super star.

 On her way to that pinnacle, Deanna is thrashed in a freeway car accident.  During her recovery, she meets and falls in love with attorney Leon Wirt.  Under Wirt's spell, she sues the hospital that saved her life, claiming a head x-ray has ruined her psychic powers.  Lawyer Wirt controls and exploits Deanna's love by giving her narcotics.  A notorious law dog, Wirt plans to make this the lawsuit of the century and catapult himself to mega-celebrity.

 The case is seized upon as the ultimate "frivolous lawsuit" by an insurance corporation conspiring with a tobacco industry alliance.  The design of this machination is to void the right of individual Americans to seek justice in a court of law.  Their plan is to force Deanna to submit to a humiliating medical exam that highlights her drug addiction and sexcapades, then leak the video to the media.

 Deanna discovers the scheme and realizes that there is one last step she must make for her singing career.

Bingo, Lawsuit is a darkly humorous tale of the imprisoning effects of fame, the business of personal injury lawyering, and corporate America's efforts to eliminate the right of private citizens to find civil remedy in our court system.
