Attorney Thomas Kenniff, 51 — who along with his law partner Steven Raiser succcessfully defended subway Samaritan Daniel Penny in a sensational trial that captivated the nation in late 2024 — is adding another chapter to his career: author.
His debut novel Tuxedo Park (Post Hill Press) was released this past Tuesday. The legal thriller, which centers on a race to bring a president-elect to justice, is already garnering him notable praise.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich tweeted that Kenniff is the “next Scott Turow” — the lawyer-turned-author who penned the 1999 bestseller Presumed Innocent.
