The Local – Joey Hartstone

A small-town lawyer. A murdered federal judge. A first criminal case with a life hanging in the balance.

James Euchre knows the high-stakes patent cases that make Marshall, Texas, a legal hotspot. But when his client, CEO Amir Zawar, is accused of murdering a beloved local judge, Euchre is pulled into unfamiliar and far more dangerous territory.

Working with a former federal prosecutor and a local private investigator, he must untangle the truth before an innocent man is condemned, or a killer walks free.

Perfect for readers who love courtroom tension, small-town secrets and morally difficult cases. If you liked legal thrillers by John Grisham or Scott Turow, you’ll like this.
