Power. Pressure. Consequence. Vince Aiello’s Legal Detriment Returns in a New Edition
What happens when the people we trust with the law begin breaking it?
The new edition of Legal Detriment explores this question with brutal clarity. Set in San Diego’s legal elite, the novel follows the unraveling of a high-powered law firm where ambition is weaponized, loyalty is conditional, and no one is safe from the ripple effects of a single reckless decision.
At the center is a firm built like a fortress, run like a battlefield. When two of its attorneys, Mike Eiffert and Ted Theopolis, secretly rob a drug dealer, the fallout is immediate. A woman is murdered. A trail of evidence points toward Eiffert. And as the firm scrambles to protect itself, an entirely different threat emerges in the form of Paul Clifford, a former lawyer, a grieving father, and a man spiraling toward violence.
Legal Detriment blends legal suspense with psychological unraveling. The result is a story that explores crime and interrogates the entire system, the people within it, and what happens when control slips through even the most powerful hands.
