Sober Justice

Sober Justice was New York Times bestselling author Joe Hilley’s debut novel. It first appeared in 2004, and introduced readers to Mike Connolly, a fifty-something attorney who lives on the Gulf Coast. Divorced, alcoholic, and estranged from his family, Connolly gets through the day with help from a bottle of gin and Marisa, an exotic dancer from a club on the state line. But when a prominent plaintiff’s attorney turns up dead, Connolly is appointed to defend the man accused of killing him. And that’s when things get interesting-deadly interesting.
