(2019)(A book in the Mike Daley / Rosie Fernandez series)
An omnibus of novels by Sheldon Siegel
Sheldon Siegel's critically acclaimed novels have sold millions of copies worldwide. San Francisco criminal defense attorneys Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez have been called two of the most beloved characters in contemporary crime fiction. HIGHER LAW 3 continues with novels 8-10 in the series: FELONY MURDER RULE, SERVE AND PROTECT, HOT SHOT.
FELONY MURDER RULE (4.6/5 stars, 500 five-star reviews!)
Thomas, a high school senior, was just sitting in the car. Now, he's on trial for the murder of his best friend who died in a botched robbery attempt. Mike and Rosie are the co-heads of the Felony Division, where they spend more time running the office and supervising younger attorneys than trying cases. That changes quickly when Mike is visited by Thomas' mother Melinda Nguyen who asks for help for her son. Things become personal when Melinda reveals there may be a connection to Mike's older brother, Tommy, who died in Vietnam forty years earlier. Mike and Rosie face their most compelling challenge yet as they race to represent their client and try to find closure for old wounds.
SERVE AND PROTECT (4.5/5 stars)
It starts with a routine traffic stop. Moments later, a young man is killed by a rookie cop. Self-defense or murder? As San Francisco descends into riots and chaos, it's up to Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez to prove that the cop is innocent. Or is he? Mike and Rosie face their biggest challenge yet in a high-stakes case where San Francisco's streets turn violent.
HOT SHOT (4.8/5 stars)
Everything you've heard about sex, drugs, and misogyny in Silicon Valley is true...only it's worse. In San Francisco, one in 11,000 residents is a billionaire. Now, there's one fewer when Lexy Low's sugar daddy Jeff King dies as she injects him with heroin. Was it an accident? Murder? Bad drugs? Mike and Rosie search for the truth in the billionaire's club where everybody has something to hide.
What Amazon readers are saying
"Felony Murder Rule" corrects any misconception one may have that a legal mystery isn't suspenseful. Not only is it, but it's one with a very affecting and emotional ending.
"Serve and Protect" will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page until the very end. If you are into quality legal thrillers, that allow the plot to develop, keeping you guessing throughout, then you will totally enjoy reading this book!
"Hot Shot" reveals a great many disturbing truths about not only the Silicon Valley's tech executives, so full of themselves and all their money that they believe they deserve to get away with murder, but also about the America justice system, which seems skewed toward the rich and powerful and against those down and out.
"Bringing you to the edge of your seat, once again Sheldon Siegel's immensely makes the characters powerful but a soft side too."
"Sheldon Siegel's characters are believable, even the more eccentric; his gift for making you feel you are there and his sense of humour are evident."
With a case that could easily have been taken from today's news headlines -- it is believable and relevant. The characters are likable or not, depending on their place in the story. The plot grabs your attention from the beginning and holds you hostage until the last page has been read!
One of my favourite parts of this series is reading what Mike thinks -- I love his sense of humour! I really had to laugh out loud.
