Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: It starts with a phone call Mike Daley never expected to get, 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; Skipper Gates had led the charge to get Mike fired from his job as a partner in a prestigious law firm. But Gates needs Daley now - and needs him badly. He's just been arrested. It seems that a couple of hours earlier he woke up in an armchair in his hotel room and found the dead body of a young male prostitute in the bed. The details that continue to emerge from the crime scene are tabloid heaven. The SFPD is certain Gates did it. The prosecutors are already talking the death penalty, and there's nothing in the mounting evidence, and certainly not in Gate's unpersuasive denials, to convince Daley and his partner (and ex-wife) Rosie of his innocence. But even if he's lying, it's their job to defend him, and that means finding out what really happened. Sure enough, the deeper they dig, the seamier their findings. An array of influential power brokers is all too ready to cover questionable activities that may - or may not - connect with the victim. There's a campaign manager with his own dirty secrets, a shady Internet entrepreneur who trades flesh for cash, a prominent businessman who uses muscle to keep his enterprise prospering. Mike and Rosie chase down trails that take them from the lowest depths of the Mission District, where drugs and bodies are always for sale, to the gated mansions of Pacific Heights, all the while contending with a trial that gets under way even as they are frantically trying to piece together what is really at stake in the case against Gates.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

For Mike, it's a case he can't win for a client he can't stand.

It starts with a phone call Mike Daley never expected to get.

Prentice Marshall Gates III is on the line pleading for Mike's help. Friends they're not, ever since Gates unceremoniously kicked Mike out of their prestigious lawfirm.

But Gates needs Daley now - badly. It seems the San Francisco's District Attorney and chief law enforcement officer and front-runner candidate for California attorney general has just been arrested.

A couple of hours earlier he woke up in his hotel room and found the dead body of a young prostitute in his bed. Prosecutors are already talking the death penalty, and there's nothing in the mounting evidence to convince Daley and his partner Rosie Fernandez of Gates's innocence. But even if he's lying, it's now 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.

With his terrific first novel, SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES , Sheldon Siegel delivered legal fiction so exciting, it drew comparisons with the very top tier of courtroom thrillers. With INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE , he has a new challenge for Mike & Rosie.

INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE is book 2 in the NY Times and Amazon bestselling legal thriller series featuring Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez.

"A Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez thriller".
