Sheldon Siegel
Final Verdict
Putnam Adult
2003
Sheldon Siegel has done it again! "Final Verdict" serves up likeable characters Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez in an absorbing legal thriller set in San Francisco. In this, his fourth book, Siegel's voice has matured. His main character is still irreverent but a little less flip.
The story revolves around a character from a troubled neighborhood in downtown San Francisco. Leon Walker's fall from grace occurred years prior to the action in this book when he and his brother were tried for a murder and set free in what the local legal community felt was a miscarriage of justice. Now he's before the court to face a new murder charge and calls on Daley for help.
It's a fast and enjoyable read. San Francisco residents will enjoy the place descriptions, history, and timely references to political goings-on, but you don't have to live here to appreciate the book.
If you haven't read any of the others, start with this one, and I'd bet you'll go back for the others:
