A Killer's Alibi

Philadelphia criminal defense attorney Mick McFarland takes on the most dangerous case of his career when mob boss Jimmy Nunzio hires him after being found at a murder scene with a body and a blade. Nunzio refuses to tell his own lawyer the truth about what happened, leaving McFarland to build a defense from shadows. Meanwhile, Mick's wife Piper pursues a parallel fight for a young woman who has spent years in prison for a crime the jury never fully understood. The third installment of William L. Myers Jr.'s Philadelphia Legal series weaves these two cases toward a collision of buried family secrets.

Adam Verner brings the gritty Philadelphia legal world to life with a grounded, measured delivery that suits the novel's courtroom tension. His pacing holds the procedural detail without letting it drag, and he navigates the story's dual timelines cleanly. At nearly thirteen hours, the production rewards patient listeners who appreciate character-driven legal thrillers built on moral ambiguity rather than cheap twists.
