The Legacy — D.W. Buffa

A make-or-break case sends lone wolf lawyer Joseph Antonelli to the legal battlegrounds of San Francisco in this riveting novel from acclaimed legal thriller master D. W. Buffa.

On a San Francisco street dark and dense with fog, somebody has shot to death U.S. senator Jeremy Fullerton. The victim had many enemies, but the police don't hesitate to arrest Jamaal Washington. He's a black premed honor student with a big problem: He can't say why he was at the scene of the crime or how the murder weapon ended up by his side. To win a case none of the locals will touch, Antonelli must navigate a terrain ruled by power and politics, betrayal and violence. And he will face the most personal, the most dangerous peril of all--becoming a man exactly like Fullerton, one who knows everyone's secrets and tells everyone lies.
