About the author
Born and raised in New York City, James Sheehan later moved to Florida to attend law school and went on to work as a trial lawyer for more than 30 years. That long legal career became the foundation for his fiction, giving his novels an insider's sense of courtroom pressure, strategy, and moral complexity.
He is best known for legal thrillers, especially the Jack Tobin series, which begins with The Mayor of Lexington Avenue. His official author site also highlights later books including Deadball, Damaged Goods, Presumed Justice, Black and White, and Blue, and Atlas Unplugged.
Across his work, he returns to crime, justice, and the people caught in between. The result is fiction that aims to balance page-turning mystery with the human side of the law.
