The Midnight Lawyer

Defense attorney Hank Luger leaves a high-powered D.C. career to return home to Savannah. He opens a modest practice under the moss-draped oaks, hoping for slower days and time with his ailing mother. But his return unsettles the city's legal elite—especially his estranged father, former DA George Luger. Hank's first case involves a young woman hit with excessive charges after reporting an assault. The system's response is brutal. Then comes Pharaoh Williams—a death row inmate convicted years ago, when George was DA. What begins as a reluctant review becomes a dangerous unraveling. Buried evidence. Silenced witnesses. And powerful forces, on both sides of the law, are determined to keep the past sealed. Where Hank's father stands is anyone's guess. As threats mount and the cost of truth rises, Hank must choose: protect the Luger name—or bring it down in the name of justice. Gripping courtroom drama, deep secrets, and twists that bite—The Midnight Lawyer is legal suspense at its best. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Dugoni, Robert Bailey, and Peter O'Mahoney.
