The Lawyer's Truth

Cadence Elliott Legal Thriller #2 / 3
by J.J. Miller
The Lawyer's Truth (Cadence Elliott Legal Thriller #2) by J.J. Miller
Unrated

A tech mogul is dead. A homeless man is accused. One lawyer must uncover the truth—before thousands die.

When a brilliant young entrepreneur is found murdered, police quickly arrest Brandon Colter, a homeless man with a shaky alibi and a signed confession. Case closed.

Except defense attorney Cadence Elliott isn’t buying it.

Brandon insists he’s innocent, but the evidence says otherwise—and even Cadence isn’t sure what to believe. Still, she knows what happens to men like Brandon in a system that’s hungry for quick convictions. She refuses to let him be swallowed by it.

As she digs deeper, a strange pattern emerges—one the police ignored. The more she uncovers, the more dangerous the case becomes. A buried connection to a powerful defense contractor. Whispers of illegal weapons deals. And a conspiracy so vast, it could shatter international security.

The more Cadence pushes to prove Colter's innocence, the more powerful and sinister the forces opposing her become.

To clear his name, she must put everything on the line, including her own life.

Will she survive to deliver true justice and reveal the shocking truth?

The Lawyer’s Truth is a gripping legal thriller packed with sharp dialogue, vivid characters, high-stakes suspense, and a heroine whose strength is as relentless as her heart.

Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Peter O'Mahoney.

J.J. Miller

After failing at my first attempt, I figured the answer was no. Maybe I just wasn’t cut out to write fiction. As a young teen, I’d devoured every new Wilbur Smith book I could get my hands on. Then Hemingway got ahold of me. Hunter S. Thompson exhilarated me. Nabokov dazzled me. Raymond Carver floored me. Tom Clancy captivated me. And John Grisham filled me with awe.

After writing three non-fiction books, I decided to turn once more to my first literary love: fiction. I wanted to find out, once and for all, if I could produce the kind of gripping novel I loved to read. Between a full-time job and being a hands-on dad, I used every stolen moment I could find to write my first novel. It took me a year and a lot of hard work but it proved worth it: my debut novel Force of Justice became a bestseller, hitting #1 on Amazon’s Pulp Thrillers chart.

Now, with nine novels spread over two different series, I have to pinch myself to believe that I get to write fiction for a living.

When I’m not at my laptop trying to map out the next book or to reach my daily word count, I love nothing better than hitting the trails on my mountain bike, or the surf to share in my children’s joy of catching waves.
