A Lawyer's Defense

Every case has a defendant. This time, it's him. When a district attorney's investigator turns up dead, and Carter finds himself in handcuffs, everything he's built collapses overnight. No strategy. No control. No courtroom advantage. Just a cell in one of Pennsylvania's most dangerous prisons, a murder charge he can't argue his way out of, and a system he once trusted now working against him. From inside, Carter must do the one thing his entire career never required and trust someone else to fight for him. While a pregnant Elsa and investigator Linda Chen work the case from the outside, Carter navigates a brutal world of violent inmates and corrupt officials, coordinating his own defense through prison glass and contraband phones before whoever put him there decides a murder charge isn't enough.
