It's Gladly, a cross-eyed teddy bear: the brainchild of slightly cross-eyed beauty Lainie Commins, Matthew Hope's client and the litigant in a trademark dispute with toy company tycoons Etta and Brett Toland. Hope, still recovering from a near-fatal shooting, is certain he can win this case - until someone murders one of the key players.
Suddenly Lainie is up for another trial, this time for homicide. While she vigorously denies any involvement in the shooting aboard the yacht Toy Boat, her story keeps changing, and the evidence against her mounts - until Hope discovers that Lainie is not only a toy designer with a complaint but also a participant in a most surprising sexual liaison.
Lainie Commins, a freelance designer of children's toys, hires attorney Matthew Hope for a lawsuit against her old employers, Brett and Etta Toland. At stake are the lucrative rights to Gladly, a teddy bear with crossed eyes and corrective lenses. It's a straightforward case--until Brett Toland is shot in the throat aboard his luxury yacht and Lainie becomes the chief suspect.
