What a year it’s been! It feels like the last six months or so have flown by because I’d been hard at work on a number of projects! First, I released Lost Cause, Jake Ramsey Thriller #4.
Then, I launched The Fixer, a Kirk Hoffman Legal thriller, and now, with great pleasure, I write to inform you that The Second Option, Mitch Turner Legal Thrillers #6, is now OUT!!
What a great year it’s been.
Now, it’s time to enjoy the holidays! See you in the new year!

AN OLD FOE IS CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Criminal Defense Attorney Mitch Turner is outside the county building when his nemesis, Frank Ward, is arrested and charged with murder. When their eyes meet as the cops parade Ward to the police car, Mitch knows Ward will call him, and he is conflicted. Curiosity compels him to meet with Ward, and he can’t stand idly by after hearing Ward’s chilling recollection of the events that led to his arrest. Ward might be a reckless prosecutor, but a murderer? Mitch doesn’t think so.
A SIMPLE CASE BECOMES COMPLEX.
Assistant State’s Attorney Ainsley Karsten was discovered stabbed in the basement of the county building, and Frank Ward was found unconscious in the same room. The evidence is convincing. But the deeper Mitch digs, the more he finds questions he can’t answer. Questions that take him to a place he’s hesitant to go.
A NEW FOE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN.
On top of that, the independent prosecuting attorney Pace Brooks is determined to convict Ward at all costs, seeing it as a steppingstone to political office. The deck is stacked against Mitch as he struggles against this determined and seasoned attorney, who is looking to take advantage of every opportunity, even at the cost of truth and justice.
Can Mitch Turner keep his wits about him in the game of oneupmanship and see that the truth prevails?
This legal thriller will keep you guessing until the very end.
