The Hitman's Lawyer A Ben Carter Legal Thriller
By David Archer
First published 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.
