Incriminating Evidence

For Mike, it's a case he can't win for a client he can't stand. It starts with a phone call Mike Daley never expected to get. Prentice Marshall Gates III is on the line pleading for Mike's help. Friends they're not, ever since Gates unceremoniously kicked Mike out of their prestigious lawfirm. But Gates needs Daley now - badly. It seems the San Francisco's District Attorney and chief law enforcement officer and front-runner candidate for California attorney general has just been arrested. A couple of hours earlier he woke up in his hotel room and found the dead body of a young prostitute in his bed. Prosecutors are already talking the death penalty, and there's nothing in the mounting evidence to convince Daley and his partner Rosie Fernandez of Gates's innocence. But even if he's lying, it's now their job to defend him. Sure enough, the deeper Mike and Rosie dig, the seamier their findings. From a shady Internet entrepreneur who trades flesh for cash to a prominent businessman who uses muscle to keep his enterprise prospering, Mike and Rosie chase down leads that take them from the depths of the Mission District, where drugs and bodies are always for sale, to the gated mansions of Pacific Heights, frantically trying to piece together the shocking truth of what actually happened, even as the trial itself is under way. With his terrific first novel, SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, Sheldon Siegel delivered legal fiction so exciting, it drew comparisons with the very top tier of courtroom thrillers. With INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE, he has a new challenge for Mike & Rosie. INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE is book 2 in the NY Times and Amazon bestselling legal thriller series featuring Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez.
