Read a sample Read a sample

Gordon Seegerman is a reluctant public defender by day and the Barry-obsessed singer in a Manilow cover band by night. When a routine misdemeanor case exposes corruption among his city's most prominent citizens, Seegerman finds himself having to act like a real lawyer for the first time in his life. Irresistible and irreverent, Misdemeanor Man will have you on the edge of your seat, rooting for the underdog and believing in the magic of Manilow. Dylan Schaffer is a criminal-defense lawyer who has served as appellate counsel in more than fifty murder cases, including death penalty matters. He lives in Oakland, California. Television rights to Misdemeanor Man have been optioned by Paramount, with Fox developing the pilot. "[A] daffy, delightful first novel...Schaffer has a good eye for the oddities of human nature, a skeptical mind and a nice way with a phrase."-Washington Post Book World "[A]refreshing happy surprise...[Schaffer's] unusual candor makes this book stand out from the pack."-San Francisco Chronicle "Schaffer weaves a crackling mystery, with surprises at every turn."-Newsday "Charming and original...a genre-busting legal thriller that's everything a normal legal thriller is not...poignant, smart and memorable. And, best of all, it's funny."-Buffalo News Also available: HC 1-58234-460-4 $23.95 Misdemeanor Man is one of the freshest and most original mysteries in a long time... Schaffer writes with a sly wit and wonderful gift for characters...a gem of a novel that deserves to be discovered.- Chicago Sun-Times
