The Hitman's Lawyer
2025
ONE TAKES LIFE. ONE DEFENDS IT. FATE IS ABOUT TO MAKE THE SWITCH.
When a middle-aged businessman enters the office of Ben Carter and hires him for a murder case, nothing could have prepared the lawyer for the cat-and-mouse game that follows. Tasked with defending a woman accused of killing local businessman Dale Rich, Carter soon finds himself asking more questions about the man who hired him than the woman he’s been sent to defend. Corinne Lucas appears as nothing more than a victim trapped in a nightmare, caught up in a frenzied murder that screams wrong place-wrong time. When the evidence begins to pile up and appears to implicate the woman in multiple ways, it’s up to her lawyer to separate truth from fiction. Carter quickly uncovers a possible motive for the killing and when it turns the entire investigation on its head, how can he protect himself when all the evidence points to the unlikeliest of suspects?
The Hitman's Lawyer is a heart-pounding courtroom drama full of intrigue and deception where the stakes are life and death. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and James Chandler.

Double Conviction
2026
DNA proved his innocence. DNA proves his guilt.
Marcus Webb is a man on the edge. After serving eight years for the murder of an LA judge, new DNA testing proves his innocence and sets him free. Two months later, authorities find his former attorney brutally murdered in his Philadelphia home, and the evidence points directly at Marcus. When Ben Carter hears about a former friend’s death, he heads across state seeking answers, but is quickly pulled into a much deeper mystery. Marcus has no alibi, his DNA is on the body, and a ruthless DA needs this conviction to win re-election. Ben knows defending Marcus is career suicide. The evidence is damning, the victim sympathetic, and his client has already been convicted of murder once. But the more he investigates, the more he discovers something much darker, a conspiracy reaching into the very core of Philadelphia’s law enforcement. Now Ben must prove the that Marcus Webb has been framed twice. One man. Two convictions. Zero chance of justice. Can Ben Carter prove Marcus Webb innocent before the system buries them both?
