Perfect Alibi

Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez used to be married, but now they run a law firm together, and their latest case is personal. Their sixteen-year-old daughter is dating Bobby Fairchild, whose father, a judge on the Superior Court, has been killed. Bobby is in custody after police found him at the scene holding the weapon. He insists he came home from an evening out with Grace and discovered the body. Investigators argue that the bitter split between his parents pushed him to violence.

The only person who can vouch for Bobby is Grace, which makes her testimony central. Mike and Rosie agree to defend him, and the search for the truth leads them into a sex scandal. The trail runs through the rougher corners of San Francisco and into the homes of some of the city's most influential residents.

This is the seventh book in the Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez legal thriller series, so readers who already know the pair will see their history and working relationship develop further.
