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.
