THE CONFESSION Mike Daley doesn't go to confession much since he left the priesthood twenty years ago and became a lawyer, but that doesn't stop his old friend, Father Ramon Aguirre, from trying to get him there. "It wouldn't kill you to go to church once in a while," he tells Mike. But it does kill someone. A ruinous sexual harassment suit has been building against the San Francisco Catholic Archdiocese, and when the plaintiff's lawyer is found dead, an apparent suicide, an almost audible sigh of relief is heard in certain quarters. But that is before the police find evidence of murder. Even worse-the evidence points to Father Aguirre. Mike and his ex-wife law partner, Rosie, jump in to take the priest's case, but what started out as difficult soon appears impossible as forensics, witnesses, and secrets from Father Aguirre's past all incriminate their client. Soon, their wits are the only things keeping the priest from a life sentence or worse, and wits simply may not be enough-unless they can conjure up a miracle of their own.
JUDGMENT DAY Called in at the last minute to try to stop the execution of Nathan Fineman, a former mob lawyer convicted of murdering three people in Chinatown’s notorious Golden Dragon Restaurant, Mike and Rosie must race the clock in a desperate attempt to prove their client’s innocence. With only ten days to go and a wealth of forensic evidence pointing overwhelmingly to his guilt, their task seems impossible. Mike must battle his own personal demons when the reputation of his dead father—a San Francisco cop who was one of the first officers at the scene the night of the murders—is called into question.And as the plot hurtles toward its stunning denouement, judgment day is fast approaching not only for Nate Fineman, but for Mike’s father and the law firm of Daley and Fernandez as well. REVIEWS
THE CONFESSION and JUDGMENT DAY have over 500 AMAZON reader reviews with an average rating of 4.4/5.
"Lawyer and ex-priest Mike Daley believes in Ramon’s innocence and agrees to help him pro bono despite the archdiocese’s insistence that they be his sole representation. Incriminating evidence against Ramon continues to appear, including the possibility that he has fathered the victim's unborn child. As Daley moves from the drug and prostitution-ridden underbelly of San Francisco, where auto parts and offers of legal aid are exchanged for cooperation, to the tension-filled courtroom and the hushed offices of the church, it gradually becomes apparent that Ramon isn’t the only character with a lot at stake in this intelligent, timely thriller." Publishers Weekly Review of THE CONFESSION.
*Starred Review* "Mike and Rosie, who remained in business after their marriage went bust, are working to stop the execution of Nathan Fineman, a onetime Mob lawyer accused of gunning down three people at a Chinatown restaurant. Fineman’s health may be failing, but his mind is alive. He’s convinced San Francisco cops planted the murder weapon on him as payback for his successful defense of drug dealers. His claim is more than just an indictment of the SFPD; it’s an emotional blow to Daley, whose late father was one of the first cops at the scene on the night of the murders. Minutes turn to days as Mike and Rosie seek evidence that might exonerate their client (and possibly implicate Mike’s respected old man). Drug dealers, wily lawyers, crooked businessmen, and conflicted cops populate the pages of this latest in a best-selling series from Siegel. A compelling cast and plenty of suspense put this one right up there with the best of Lescroart and Turow." Booklist Review of JUDGMENT DAY.
