Book Description:
"Rosenberg spins a great criminal trial narrative that matches any in books by Scott Turow, John Grisham, or Michael Connelly. Readers will find the book hard to put down, but they'll also come away with a strong sense of the Darwinian life of big law firms."Michael Asimow, Professor of Law Emeritus, UCLA Law School Visiting Professor, Stanford Law School Co-author, Reel Justice: The Courtroom Goes to the Movies, Editor, Lawyers in Your Living Room! Law on Television "Death on a High Floor is that delicious and rare combination of great, surprising mystery plot twists and engaging, full-color characters. I loved it, and can't wait to read Rosenberg's next book!" Anne Kenney, Executive Producer, Greek, Co-Creator/Co-Executive Producer, Family Law When much-despised Marbury Marfan senior partner Simon Rafer turns up dead, with an ornate dagger buried between his shoulder blades, it comes as a surprise to no one. Rafer had recently been on the warpath, clearing out the "dead wood" partners from the firm, not to mention any associate who dared cross him. A thousand attorneys, scattered across four continents, had good reason to want Rafer in the ground, but homicide Detective Spritz has his eye trained on only one--senior partner Robert Tarza, with his shadowy connection to a rare and infamous ancient coin. Robert and his friend and colleague--and maybe a bit more--Jenna are soon forced to play detective themselves, in a race to find the real killer or killers before Spritz assembles what looks to be an airtight case. But in the end, only Jenna's trial skills will stand between Robert and a free room at San Quentin.
