Narrative Concering Books A Criminal Defense (Philadelphia Legal #1)
Losing the trial of his life could mean losing everything.When a young reporter is found dead and a prominent Philadelphia businessman is accused of her murder, Mick McFarland finds himself involved in the case of his life. The defendant, David Hanson, was Mick’s close friend in law school, and the victim, a TV news reporter, had reached out to Mick for legal help only hours before her death.
Mick’s played both sides of Philadelphia’s courtrooms. As a top-shelf defense attorney and former prosecutor, he knows all the tricks of the trade. And he’ll need every one of them to win.
But as the trial progresses, he’s disturbed by developments that confirm his deepest fears. This trial, one that already hits too close to home, may jeopardize his firm, his family—everything. Now Mick’s only way out is to mastermind the most brilliant defense he’s ever spun, one that will cross every legal and moral boundary.

Fantastic!This is the best legal thriller I've read in a long time. A couple of times I thought I had something figured out then the author would throw in another twist and I'd be back where I started. And the ending blew me away! I sat there stunned for several seconds as I absorbed what I'd just read. The author did an excellent job of mixing things up to keep you guessing. When Mick McFarland gets a phone call from good friend David Hanson saying David needed legal representation, of course3.75 starsThis book featured a slow burning legal drama based in Philadelphia about a lawyer juggling multiple open cases, an unsteady marriage, unstable family ties, and a financially shaky legal firm. Michael "Mick" McFarland was the protagonist whose POV provided the central vision for this story.The beginning was a bit dull with all of the background information being laid out, but this story gradually became more interesting as the story unfolded. Mick was sort of lifeless and bland to me
This is a legal procedural set in Philadelphia. As a Philly local I love books set in Philly. Love them. And the first 50% of this book had me absolutely charmed. It was an excellent mystery and Philly was well featured. when the twist in the tale came I was stunned. Stunned. STUNNED. And then annoyed.So 4 stars rather than 5. I still plan on reading the next book by the author.
All of my reviews can be found on www.novelgossip.com4.5/5Im always slightly hesitant before I read a legal thriller, will it be full of legal jargon that bores me to tears? Will it be bland and dry with more long speeches by blabbing lawyers than actual thrills? None of that happened here, in fact it was quite the opposite. I was highly engrossed in this story and had a hard time putting it down. This isnt a straightforward legal drama, there is much more going on under the surface than you
2 StarsThis story is about a defense attorney (Mick) who his recent client is his college friend (David). David is accused for killing a reporter. Two detectives found him at the crime scene while he was sterilized the place and tried to run away from them and he insisted on he's not the killer. I read the first 32% but I couldnt concentrate on it. The multiple open cases were too much for me (and also too many names). So I skipped and skimmed and Im sooo happy for doing that because that ending
4.5 stars. I've had a looong break from legal thrillers. I don't know why, I just did. I loved all the books by Sydney Bauer but she seems to have stopped writing and is concentrating on television for now. I also didn't realise she was Australian as her books are set in Boston (Boston legal anyone)? There were other authors too but Bauer was the standout for me.Why am I telling you this? Because I think William L. Myers might just be in the same league. This was a damn good book but, oh my, so
This is a new author for me. The book was recently published on April 1, 2017. The author is a practicing attorney.A young female reporter is found dead and a prominent Philadelphia businessman is accused of the murder. Our protagonist is Mick McFarland. He finds himself in a quandary. David Hanson, the defendant, is a close friend and law school buddy. The T. V. news reporter had call Mick to seek help only hours before her death. Mick had been a prosecutor before becoming a defense attorney.
