The Tooth Fairy

If you are looking for a last minute gift for that special labor lawyer in your life, look no further. The Tooth Fairy by Jake Hart (also known in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania as the  Honorable Jacob P. Hart or fancifully as Jacon Hart by those who would elevate him to tolkienian greatness) is sure to please.  As Steven LaCheen writes in the Florida Bar Journal, in The Tooth Fairy, "a union grievance hearing and arbitration proceeding are the centerpieces of a story that will hold your interest from first line to last, whether you know anything, or even care, about labor/management relations or not[.]"  I'm glad that I saw LaCheen's recommendation because the book is as gripping as it is gritty and an enjoyable read.  It has great characters, an intriguing plot, and plenty of commentary on labor law, labor relations and the human condition.   Set in eastern Pennsylvania, the book is quite descriptive and has plenty of action in the form of brawlers, mafia goons, and motor cycle gangs to hold your attention.
