The Midwest Lawyer: A Legal Thriller (Maggie Gallagher Legal Thriller Series Book 1)

A terrible accident could send an innocent man to prison… Returning to her hometown after years of practicing law in Chicago, Maggie Gallagher is determined to put her family first—no more cases that could put her or her loved ones in danger.

As Maggie digs deeper, trying to find the truth, she uncovers a twisted trail of rage and broken lives surrounding Coach Schafer. And Troy has secrets of his own. Unless he comes clean about his past, there’s no way Maggie can mount a proper defense. If she fails, Troy will go to prison. A shattered family will lose everything. And the real killer may strike again… View Less
