DEAD LAWYERS
What would happen if Shakespeare’s prophesy came true and someone did start killing all the lawyers? Corpses piling up faster than the cops can red pen them on a homicide board. Trial lawyers, corporate lawyers, family lawyers, even a judge is on a killer’s hit list. The one thing these murders have in common is attorney Mack Traynor, who's ex-wife is found dead next to equally dead criminal defense attorney lover. Trainer finds himself in the middle of a nightmare that takes him on a frantic search that culminates in a death race through the California wildfires.
Can he discover the truth before the cops pin the murders on him or will a killer put him next on the list of “Dead Lawyers?”
Steve McAvoy is a practice mediator with ADR Services and is working on his second novel, “Dead Husbands."

Stephen McAvoy allows attorneys to mini-direct to make their case in mediations
ADR Services Inc. neutral Stephen H. McAvoy wrote out his first novel, a 347-page murder mystery entitled "Dead Lawyers," entirely by hand. "I didn't know how to type back then," McAvoy explained with a laugh. "I typed with two fingers."
A lifelong fan of mystery books and movies, McAvoy said it took him about three years to write the novel and then another two to revise it, but if he could go back and do things again, he might re consider the release date.
"It was released in March of 2020. You want to talk about 'dead on arrival?" McAvoy said, mentioning plans he'd made to hold signing events at The Last Bookstore in downtown Los Angeles and the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego.
