A Cinderella Affidavit is a pulse-pounding legal thriller by newcomer Michael Fredrickson, a lawyer in charge of prosecuting other lawyers for the state of Massachusetts.A routine drug raid goes awry in Boston's Chinatown, killing a police officer as he batters down the door to execute a no-knock search warrant. The cops arrest and charge a man with the crime, but the court orders them to produce the confidential snitch whose information, recounted in a police affidavit, was the basis for the warrant. Danny Leung, the small-time Chinese hustler who supplied the cops with the information needed to pull off the raid, hires corporate attorney Matthew Boer to help him evade the cops. Danny is soon on the run and Matt must battle politicians, the Chinese mob, and even the firm he calls home if he hopes to save his client.
