O'Brien's Law: A Legal Thriller Set in 1970s San Francisco - Paperback

by John McNellis (Author)

Brand-new lawyer Michael O'Brien has no clue the case his law firm handed him is a total loser. That's because he would rather chase women, play basketball, or do almost anything other than practice law. O'Brien is struggling with the drudgery first-year associates face, especially since it's the swinging '70s in San Francisco.

He's just too good-looking, easily bored, and cocky to care. But when Malcolm Knox, one of the city's wealthiest men, drops dead, the young man from Boston is suddenly charged with finding $50 million in bearer bonds missing from the estate.

Given his myriad distractions-he's wooing a former fashion model who owns a small bakery chain-O'Brien seems destined to fail. As missteps accumulate, and practicing law becomes dangerous O'Brien risks losing his job, his girlfriend, and even his life.
