Final Verdict
by Sheldon Siegel - (2003)

In Final Verdict, we find Mike Daley agreeing, against his ex-wife and now partner's wishes, to take the case of Leon Walker. Leon was a former client that Mike got off with a series of questionable maneuvers. At the time Mike and Rosie were still married and she blamed the constant fighting over Leon's case to be the wedge that broke them up.

Now a venture capitalist from Silicon Valley is found dead on San Francisco's skid row and the police are sure that Leon is guilty. Mike doesn't believe that Leon did the crime and is determined to find out what really happened. It is a race against time for both attorney and client and maybe for the partnership with his ex-wife.

As usual, Mr. Siegel, has given us a great legal thriller packed with all the frailties of the human condition.
