Praise from Nelson DeMille:
"If
you like South Florida crime novels, legal thrillers, and courtroom
dramas, then you'll love The Mayor of Lexington Avenue, which
has all three, plus some nostalgic New York City flashbacks
as an added bonus.
James
Sheehan, a Florida trial attorney, has created Jack Tobin, a Florida
trial attorney, and one of the most interesting and complex characters
I've come across in a long time.
THIS
IS A DEBUT NOVEL, BUT IT READS LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY A MASTER
OF THE GENRE."
Murder in a Florida bayou sends
a Miami attorney hurtling into his own past, in a riveting legal
thriller.
Jack Tobin is a trial lawyer with
a searing-hot reputation in Miami, far removed from his scrappy
youth on the streets of New York City. But when a young Florida
man is convicted of murder, Tobin is driven to repay a debt to his
childhood friend Mikey, the boy who once dubbed Tobin "the Mayor
of Lexington Avenue."
