Incriminating Evidence

Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 2

De: Sheldon Siegel

Narrado por: Tim Campbell

With his first novel, Special Circumstances, Sheldon Siegel delivered legal fiction so exciting, it drew comparisons with the very top tier of courtroom thrillers. Now he has a new challenge for defense attorney Mike Daley - ex-priest, ex-husband, ex-public defender - and it's a high-profile zinger: a case he doesn't think he can win for a client he can't stand.

It starts with a phone call Mike Daley never expected, from District Attorney Prentice Marshall Gates III, San Francisco's chief law enforcement officer and front-runner candidate for California attorney general. Friends they're not, but Gates needs Daley now - badly. He's just been arrested. A couple of hours earlier he woke up in his hotel room and found the dead body of a young male prostitute in the bed. Prosecutors are already talking the death penalty, and there's nothing in the mounting evidence to convince Daley and his partner - and ex-wife - Rosie of Gates' innocence. But even if he's lying, it's 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.

Cookie cutter???

it's almost as if the author use the same mold but put different paint on the first and second book.

Another winner

The narrator is just perfect. The story fast moving. Love the characters. Cant wait for the next one.

identical to the first book

this book was almost identical to the first book. I liked the first book so much... I was really disappointed with this one.

Trial and error storyline

It was another very good story with curves and a very surprising ending. Excellent i recommend this author and narrator.

This was entertaining

It was enjoyable, but not as riveting as I hoped and the narrator could have added more emotion. It was too flat.

Copy-Past

I bought the first book in the series and liked it. Bought the second book and it is virtually a rewrite of the first book with a little change in the plot. I thought some sections were copied and pasted directly out of the first novel. Disappointing. The narration by Tim Campbell was good however.

Not as good as the first book

I still enjoyed to hear about Mike and Rosie, what a great lawyer team. But their case this time really made my stomach turn. I had No sympathy for the defendant.
Narration was however awesome. Tim Campbell gives this book life.

It takes awhile to adjust to the narrator

Or, it took me some time to try to adjust to it. Being a SF native, the voice, to my ear, was off for a SF native. The inflection was wrong. It’s as cosmopolitan as a bullfrog.
Other than that, this is my 2nd Sheldon Siegel book. It’s a strong 2 for 2. I just love these stories. I find them a stretch but just fun. Very entertaining.

great series so far!

i love law and trial stories. Some have stilted scenes with unbelievable outcomes but this is one of the good ones! i love the twists and turns and I can usually guess who is guilty but I was fooled. that to me is a sign of a great book. the narration was also well done. I hope this series goes on for many years. I'm a big fan.

great story...dramatic reading....

love the book, the performance is too dramatic and odd reading style. still worth the listen but can be distracting.
