A rich man parks his expensive car in downtown New York. As he gets out of the car, he is surprised to see a young man in front of him, holding a gun. No need to panic. He's been in this situation before. It's surely about money, and therefore negotiable - isn't it? There's a sharp crack of a gun and then silence. A week later a small time crook has been arrested for murder. Two eye witnesses have put him at the scene of the crime, but did he pull the trigger? He's facing death row and if there's to be a law of second chances, he needs a good lawyer fast.
Author Biography
James Sheehan is a trial attorney in Florida. Having started out working for the major corporations, he went into private practice and began to represent ordinary people - people who'd lost their jobs or livelihoods, or were victims of police brutality or of racial, age, sexual and handicap discrimination. With one associate and a secretary, James Sheehan has sued such giants of industry as United Parcel Service, IBM, and Delta Airlines. He has long been interested in cases that have resulted in the death row penalty in America, and his two books, The Mayor of Lexington Avenue and The Law of Second Chances are based on some of the characters he has met and represented, and the injustices he has seen. He is currently working on a new novel featuring Jack Tobin and Henry Wilson.
