Cease to Persist: Chumped, #3

By Alexei Auld

WARNING: Before you go any further, please don't read CEASE TO PERSIST unless you've finished THE JERKED LAW CLERK and BEATINGS IN PROGRESS. There are spoilers and I don't want to ruin the exciting conclusions of the previous books for you. 

Exasperated by Percy Winkler’s inability to pass the bar exam, best friend Rufus Wang enlists him in a crash study course run by criminals. Percy is kidnapped and partnered with other dimwits who are forced to learn the law by breaking it. This is Percy's last chance to realize his dream for legal gloriousness. Should he fail this final time, he must CEASE TO PERSIST.
