Higher Law 3
Sheldon Siegel's critically acclaimed novels have sold millions of copies worldwide. San Francisco criminal defense attorneys Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez have been called two of the most beloved characters in contemporary crime fiction. HIGHER LAW 3 continues with novels 8-10 in the series: FELONY MURDER RULE, SERVE AND PROTECT, HOT SHOT.
FELONY MURDER RULE (4.6/5 stars, 500 five-star reviews!)
Thomas, a high school senior, was just sitting in the car. Now, he's on trial for the murder of his best friend who died in a botched robbery attempt. Mike and Rosie are the co-heads of the Felony Division, where they spend more time running the office and supervising younger attorneys than trying cases. That changes quickly when Mike is visited by Thomas' mother Melinda Nguyen who asks for help for her son. Things become personal when Melinda reveals there may be a connection to Mike's older brother, Tommy, who died in Vietnam forty years earlier. Mike and Rosie face their most compelling challenge yet as they race to represent their client and try to find closure for old wounds.
SERVE AND PROTECT (4.5/5 stars)
It starts with a routine traffic stop. Moments later, a young man is killed by a rookie cop. Self-defense or murder? As San Francisco descends into riots and chaos, it's up to Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez to prove that the cop is innocent. Or is he? Mike and Rosie face their biggest challenge yet in a high-stakes case where San Francisco's streets turn violent.
HOT SHOT (4.8/5 stars)
Everything you've heard about sex, drugs, and misogyny in Silicon Valley is true...only it's worse. In San Francisco, one in 11,000 residents is a billionaire. Now, there's one fewer when Lexy Low's sugar daddy Jeff King dies as she injects him with heroin. Was it an accident? Murder? Bad drugs? Mike and Rosie search for the truth in the billionaire's club where everybody has something to hide.

Great books
Great job on these books I loved them and read 9 books in 1 month. The books are fast paced lives the narration.
I have one concern, there were multiple inconsistencies with your characters ages and descriptions. You may have written the books different than order they were published but some of the errors were pretty glaring.
For example in books 4-6 the terminator was 7'2, books 1-3 he was six seven, six four and seven feet, and in 7-9 he's was Six four and six six. Also at one point Maggie Daley was a year older than Tommy, then Tommy became 2 and the 3 years older.
I do understand you have a really tough job and it's really hard to keep everything straight, just thought you'd like to know

Truth Wins
Thank you for your Books 8, 9 and 10. 8- Came too close for comfort. It took sweat, blood and tears, but justice was done. 9- This rule confused me, but the story was very interesting. 10- Very scary, but Mike and his team really worked day and night to bring the truth and justice for their client. Enjoyed each chapter and every storyline and the many colourful characters. Look forward to reading more of your work.

Full of suspense.I'm getting hooked on his book.
Most people can relate to the story. I'm learning more of the legal terms I used to encounter when I was working as a legal secretary.

I just finished these three novels, and as usual, they are very well written. The plots are believable, characters are veww developed, and the frequent humor makes the reading more enjoyable.

A great series
I read all 10 books in the series. I enjoyed them and it was a really good way to learn how the law and courts really worked. The stories were interesting all the way to the last page. I would like to see more books in the series.

Riveting page turner
A very good read! Loved the characters. There's a sense of continuity as you are reacquainted with the players from the past.

Great novel
Once you start reading you won't be able to stop. If you enjoy courtroom novels this is the series for you. I felt as though I was as actually in the courtroom.
