In a small town that’s already decided the verdict, one lawyer fights for the truth…
When Attorney Maggie Gallagher takes on a volatile new client still reeling from a devastating personal loss, she never expects the case to spiral beyond the courtroom. After Maggie loses the case, her furious client goes viral for a public rant aimed at a ruthless healthcare CEO.
Days later, the CEO and his lawyer are killed in a fiery explosion aboard the CEO’s yacht.
The prime suspect? Maggie’s grieving client…
After threatening the CEO in public, the distraught woman’s motive couldn’t be clearer. But when the dead lawyer’s fiancé brings Maggie unsettling information about his fiancée’s shadowy past, Maggie begins to suspect the CEO may not have been the intended target after all.
As Maggie races to untangle a sinister web of secrets and lies, the pressure of her growing caseload threatens the fragile stability she has fought so hard to build for her family. And in a town hungry for a conviction, every misstep could seal her client’s fate.
With the clock ticking, Maggie must uncover the truth before her client is condemned for a crime she didn’t commit—while the real killer walks free, ready to strike again.

This author has three series that he,writes about, all set in the court room and following three different lawyers as they go about fighting the wrongs in the justice system and I can highly recommend them all if you like a good legal thriller.
I love the battling sides of the story, with the defence and prosecution both interpreting the evidence gathered, in a way that best suites there side of the argument. Of course I am always rooting for the underdog and the main character, in this case Maggie. Maggie might not be able to run her home life smoothly (which adds to the drama and pressure) but she can certainly command the court room, in a tense battle that is life or death. This author mostly focuses on the case but the cast of characters are still well developed and will soon have you hoping that the verdict goes Maggie's way and more importantly her clients. This It's a well thought out drama that is intense, interesting and surprising. I can't wait for the next book.
When a man dies without receiving the care he needs in time, his wife takes the healthcare CEO to court. After a very public trail, which due to a technicality she fails to get a ruling in her favour, its not surprising she is angry. So when the CEO and his lawyer are killed when his boat explodes, its not surprising the police turn to Maggie"a client as the number one suspect. Maggie finds herself back in court and this time defending her client on terrorism charges. Can she prove her client innocent? The only way to change public opinion, in a world where everybody already knows her story, is to provide reasonable doubt and point the finger at some body else. But who and can Maggie back it up?
I like the narrator. She is a good choice for the series, with her clear delivery and mannerisms. She would do well in a court room, as she would have everybody's attention right from the start.
