Synopsis

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. And lately, Mike Daley's family has been keeping him very busy.

An ex-priest, ex-public defender, and ex-corporate lawyer, Daley and his former wife, Rosie Fernandez, now run their own San Francisco criminal defense firm.

Most of their cases are fairly small-time, which is why it would be surprising that the person accused of murdering movie director Richard (Big Dick) MacArthur is calling them. But things get personal when the accused is Rosie's own niece, Angelina.

And the family drama doesn't end there.

Rosie's brother, Tony, may be on the wrong end of a strong-arm graft proposal.
The son of one of the firm's lawyers has just been busted on a drug charge.
Mike is having a clandestine affair with a woman judge.
And Rosie herself has a dark secret that may make all of it seem irrelevant. 

An intricate plot, immensely likeable characters, powerful suspense, and more than a touch of humor-these are Siegel's hallmarks. CRIMINAL INTENT will keep you turning pages until its final, surprising end.


CRIMINAL INTENT is book 3 in the NY Times and Amazon bestselling legal thriller series featuring Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez.

Review

Mike Daley has a checkered past as a former priest, an ex-public defender, and even a corporate lawyer. Now he's a criminal defense attorney partnered with his ex-wife, Rosie, in a San Francisco firm that's too small to attract high-profile clients unless they happen to be related to the principals--which in this case, they are. The chief suspect in the murder of famed director Richard MacArthur and the star of the film that's supposed to resurrect his fading career is Rosie's niece Angel. While the plot features too many other suspects and not enough surprises, it's the relationship between Mike and Rosie that gives this well-crafted but otherwise humdrum mystery its appeal. --Jane Adams
