"After more than twenty years away from the law, Joe Hennessy is forced back into the courtroom ... Trying to save his vineyard after years of drought, Hennessy returns to practice in the city he walked away from after the murder of his ten-year-old son--Charleston, South Carolina. When one of South Carolina's most powerful men is charged with possessing stolen artwork, Hennessy steps forward to defend him. But as Hennessy digs into the evidence, as he navigates the truth, he finds that the criminal charges are only the start of their problems ... Despite his full workload, Hennessy takes on the defense of a young woman charged with stabbing her ex-boyfriend in a violent rage. As he prepares for the trial, Hennessy discovers there's more to the case than is presented by the prosecution ... As the cases twist and turn, Hennessy fights to prove that both clients are innocent. But to expose the truth, Hennessy must take one of the most dangerous risks of his life. Can he ensure that justice triumphs? Or will the cases send him to an early grave?"--Back cover… (more)

I picked The Southern Lawyer off a list of Amazon series to meet one of the Kindle challenges. It is the first in a series that focus on Joe Hennessy, a lawyer who turned to wine making after a family tragedy. He is back to practicing law in Charleston to help save his winery. The first book finds Hennessy defending a local mob boss from the one crime he didn't commit. In addition, he is working to free a young woman accused of killing her boyfriend. Author Peter O'Mahoney weaves the two stories together and we discover the connections right along with Hennessy. The book is billed as an epic legal thriller and O'Mahoney does provide lots of details of the trials, which form the center of the narrative. ( )
