Reasonable Suspicion: A Legal Thriller
When a simple defense case turns into a high-stakes murder trial, attorney Sam Johnstone must uncover the truth before everything—and everyone—falls apart.
Defense lawyer Sam Johnstone expects his latest assignment to be difficult but manageable: defending Cyan Dymond, a young exotic dancer accused of drug possession. But as he digs deeper into her story, he discovers a much darker reality. Cyan is trapped in a toxic relationship with a controlling and abusive boyfriend, struggling to escape a life defined by fear and manipulation.
Then her boyfriend is found murdered.
Suddenly, Cyan is no longer facing a minor criminal charge—she is the prime suspect in a homicide investigation.
With the case transformed into a dangerous murder trial, Sam and his new legal partner, retired Judge Preston Daniels, must confront secrets from Cyan’s troubled past while navigating the threats surrounding her present. What seemed like a straightforward defense quickly becomes a battle filled with hidden motives, unreliable witnesses, and unanswered questions.
As the courtroom showdown draws closer, Sam faces challenges from every direction. Judge Daniels’ unpredictable behavior forces him to question whether he can rely on his own ally, while the return of someone from his past threatens to disrupt his focus when he needs it most.
Caught between shifting loyalties, small-town influence, and a mystery that grows more complicated with every revelation, Sam must expose the truth behind the murder before an innocent person pays the ultimate price.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler comes the eighth gripping installment in the Sam Johnstone legal thriller series. Perfect for readers who enjoy the courtroom suspense of John Grisham, the fast-paced thrillers of James Patterson, and the investigative drama of C.J. Box.
