What it is

A lawyer with a past. A kid with no future. Murder brought them together.

What should have been nothing more than a harmless burglary turns into a full-blown nightmare for Katherine Wright when she’s accused of a cold-blooded double murder by Pittsburgh PD. A high school dropout with a history on the streets, this isn’t the first time she’s picked up, and it’s not long before her problems begin to spiral out of control as an angry community calls for the death sentence. After hearing about the girl’s plight, Ben Carter agrees to take on the case but immediately finds himself drawn into unfamiliar territory. With connections to the mob, the murdered couple’s family seeks more than just legal justice, and with a sizable contract out, revenge is the order of the day. Can Ben prove his client’s innocence before the hitmen deliver or will his own name be added to an ever-growing list of victims? Trial by Murder is a thrilling courtroom drama filled with twists and turns where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and James Chandler.
