The Only Good Lawyer Hardcover - 1998
by Jeremiah Healy
P.I. John Francis Cuddy is doing a favor for a friend when he agrees to look into the case of Alan Spaeth, a racist misogynist accused of killing his wife's African-American divorce attorney. While Cuddy is repulsed by the accused, he is intrigued by the victim--a man of strange desires, deep secrets and many enemies.
From the rear cover
An attorney friend of Boston P.I. John Cuddy has called in a favor, looking into the case of Alan Spaeth. Spaeth is one sorry piece of work - a down-and-out divorce squeeze, a racist, a misogynist, and from all appearances, a cold-blooded killer. Frankly wishing the whole mess would disappear, Cuddy can't let it. It pains him, but he's convinced of Spaeth's innocence, and he isn't the kind of P.I. who can watch even a guy like Spaeth fry for someone else's crime. As much as Cuddy is repulsed by the accused, he's intrigued by the victim, Woodrow Wilson Gant, the African-American lawyer who had been representing Spaeth's wife in a very nasty divorce. Ricocheting from Gant's law offices, Cuddy picks up the trail of a woman who fled the scene of the murder. Rousted by a couple of loan sharks and conned by Gant's avaricious brother, Cuddy stumbles on a more personal question. The mere mention of Gant's name puts a cold, hard kink in his relationship with Assistant D. A. Nancy Meagher, and Cuddy's losing sleep wondering why.
