About this listen

A lawyer is dead. A homeless man is accused. And the truth is buried where no one wants to look.

When a high-powered attorney is found brutally murdered in the driveway of his Marina District mansion, all eyes turn to Freddie Alvarez, a homeless heroin addict caught at the scene. The evidence against him seems airtight, and the city demands justice. But when Freddie insists he’s innocent, San Francisco Public Defenders Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez are called to take on a case that will push them to their limits.

In a city where the rich protect their own and the poor are disposable, the line between guilt and innocence is razor-thin.

With the trial just days away, Mike and Rosie dive into a frantic investigation, joined by Deputy PD Nady Nikonova and Mike’s PI brother, Pete. Their search for the truth takes them from the opulent homes and exclusive nightclubs of San Francisco’s elite to the grim, forgotten corners of the City’s homeless encampments.

As the clock ticks down, the pressure intensifies. Every witness has something to hide. Every clue leads to more questions. One wrong move could cost Freddie his life—and destroy Mike and Rosie’s careers, their reputations, and their future.

In NEVER PLEAD GUILTY, the 17th electrifying installment of Sheldon Siegel’s bestselling series, the stakes have never been higher. Packed with relentless twists and Siegel’s signature courtroom drama, this is a legal thriller that will keep you guessing until the final verdict. For Mike and Rosie, this isn’t just another case—it’s a fight for justice in a world where the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.

As more stories come out about those who are found guilty when there is no evidence, Sheldon Siegel tells a great story how a top rate defense attorney can prove his client’s innocence with many obstacles from the prosecution in his way. This was a story hard to put down.

I guess I'm growing used to these light novels, the twists are still pretty good and the characters seem like friends. The author is letting his political views seep into the story and it's ruining it for me.
Narration continues to be excellent.

Pretty decent

Pretty good narrator, except he continues to pronounce some local cities incorrectly, like St Helena and Tiburon. I would think the author would be more on top of this.
My main complaint is that I listened to his previous book right before this one and some of the dialogue, descriptions and even story line seemed exactly the same! In fact, I kept thinking that I had accidentally skipped back to the previous book. I don’t think I’ll bother with another book by this author

This is suspiciously close to his last book

Not up to this author’s writing! It just was entirely to fanciful 😴 felt like it was churned out overnight. Sheldon find yourself a new character. We don’t need to grow old with Mike and Rosie


It was boring.
