When the plaintiff's lawyer for a sexual harassment suit against the San Francisco Catholic archdiocese is found dead, an apparent suicide, certain parties are relieved. But that's before the police find evidence of murder --- evidence pointing to a priest.
I loved the characters in this story. The plot was good and complex but not too complex that you couldn't follow it.
I love legal thrillers. The characters in this book are complex. The cover of this paperback shows signs of wear, but is in otherwise good condition.

This is the first book I have read by Sheldon Siegel. I normally read more romance but this mystery thriller had me from the start.
Keeps you guessing until the end. Great read!

Siegel has a way of hauling you in and holding on to you, keeping you spellbound til the very end of the book! Many, many surprises and upsets as Attorney Mike Daley defends his longtime friend, Father Ramon Aguirre on a charge of murder. Excellent read!
