About this listen

Debut author Sheldon Siegel bursts into the legal thriller arena with a riveting courtroom drama, exposing the world of big-time law firms and lawyers in a fresh, sharp-witted, wonderfully sardonic novel.

Meet Mike Daley. Ex-priest. Ex-public defender. And as of yesterday, ex-partner in one of San Francisco's most prominent law firms. Today he's out on his own, setting up practice on the wrong side of town. Then his best friend and former colleague is charged with a brutal double murder, and Daley is instantly catapulted into a high-profile investigation involving the prestigious law firm that just booted him.

As he prepares his case, Daley uncovers the firm's dirtiest secrets. It doesn't take long for him to discover that in this trial, ambition, friendship, greed, and long-standing grudges will play just as important a role as truth and justice.

Brilliantly paced, crackling with energy and suspense, Special Circumstances reminds us why we love to hate lawyers - but can't get enough of courtroom drama when it's done this well.

This book has a good story line and is read well, the characters seem to come to life and halfway through you think you have the ending - rest assured you don't.
I'm already looking forward to the next in the series

A great listen

I have just finished this audible book in record time. the story is great, a clever courtroom drama with who done it intertwined. The main character is charismatic and very likable, someone you would be happy to know. the Narration was excellent, I bought into the characters, he made them real. For me this book had everything I wanted. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Off to buy the next one!

Great story and excellent narrator!! Pick this!

I couldn't put this down. The characters are complex and convincing, the plot full of surprises, dialogues never boring. If you are a sucker for convincing courtroom drama this is for you!.

Great legal thriller

I enjoyed this very much and was even listening to it in the house - I usually only listen in the car! It moves along at a good pace and the characters are well-rounded and interesting. It had a real jaw-dropper of a reveal at the end. I liked Mike Daley’s cynicism and humour though I’d be interested to see if future books make more of his past in the Catholic priesthood. I’ll definitely be following this series. The reader was great - he kept the energy going really well.

Great first book in a new series
