The Law of Second Chances (Jack Tobin Book 2) by James Sheehan

10/31/2014

 
Genre: Legal Thriller
Click book cover for Amazon.com
Jack Tobin built a thriving law firm and sold it for enough money to allow him to defend only those he believes are innocent.  I liked him from page one.  James Sheehan is a strong enough author to juggle several story lines at the same time and keep the reader involved at all times.  I loved the flashbacks of Jack's young years.  I hated when those parts were over; BUT I loved the story line that finds Jack defending the son of his boyhood buddy and hated when those parts were over. The beginning of the book introduces us to Henry, who is days away from being executed.  Jack, with the encouragement of his wife Pat, fights to save his life.

The story alternates between the little town of Bass Creek, Florida, where Pat and Jack enjoy a peaceful life and New York City, where small-time crook Benny Avril is accused of murder. Jack isn't sure of Benny's innocence but has a very personal reason for taking the case. Benny is the son of Rico, one of Jack's boyhood buddies.

The only parts of the book that troubled me were the chapters dealing with Pat's illness. I understand the author's reasons for this sub plot, but I see too much tragedy in real life. I read to escape.  That being said, I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys legal thrillers.
