Editorial Reviews
Review
“Fast moving and tightly written…boasts a gripping story and characters who will make the reader care. All in all, a stylish and engaging novel.” –Richard North Patterson, author of The Race



Praise for The Mayor of Lexington Avenue:



“Sheehan writes with bleak clarity when he’s sharing the dirty tricks of his trade in the harrowing trial scenes, but there’s a touch of the poet in his voice.”--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review



“If you like South Florida crime novels, legal thrillers, and courtroom dramas, then you'll love THE MAYOR OF LEXINGTON AVENUE...This is a debut novel, but it reads like it was written by a master of the genre.”—Nelson DeMille



“Sheehan’s powerful debut…reads like To Kill a Mockingbird on steroids.”—Chicago Tribune



"Not only is this a top-notch legal thriller, it's also a moving story about love, guilt, personal redemption, and friendship. Sheehan is a truly gifted storyteller, and the novel's format is fresh and clever...This is a terrific novel, a genuine literary achievement." --Booklist (starred review)



“This first novel has all the ingredients of a satisfying page-turner…and an added plus: intelligent commentary about the inherent flaws of the capital punishment system.” —St. Petersburg Times



“Mesmerizing.” —The Tampa Tribune



“This is the kind of novel you want to curl up with and read straight through—a fast-paced, dandy debut!” –Rocky Mountain News



Product Description
Jack Tobin, a Florida trial lawyer, is committed to justice for the innocent. But when he’s presented with Henry Wilson’s case, he’s unsure of the convict’s innocence.  Wilson has eight weeks to live, and Tobin has to decide if he can and will help him.



Benny Avrile is a small-time thief with his eye on an oil man’s big billfold. But Benny is way over his head on this one. The robbery goes bad, and the oil man ends up dead. Just when Benny’s fate is all but sealed, an old friend from Jack’s past reaches out…



The clock is ticking on Henry Wilson’s life, the cops are in hot pursuit of Benny, and back at home, there are dark clouds on the horizon for Jack and his beautiful wife, Pat.



The Law of Second Chances is a masterfully written legal thriller and an exciting successor to the critically acclaimed The Mayor of Lexington Avenue.
