Trial by Murder

Ben Carter #2 / 8
by David Archer, Oliver Black
Trial by Murder (Ben Carter #2) by David Archer, Oliver Black
Unrated

A LAWYER WITH A PAST. A KID WITH NO FUTURE. MURDER BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.

What should have been nothing more than a harmless burglary turns into a full-blown nightmare for Katherine Wright when she’s accused of a cold-blooded double murder by Pittsburgh PD. A high school dropout with a history on the streets, this isn’t the first time she’s picked up, and it’s not long before her problems begin to spiral out of control as an angry community calls for the death sentence.

After hearing about the girl’s plight, Ben Carter agrees to take on the case but immediately finds himself drawn into unfamiliar territory. With connections to the mob, the murdered couple’s family seeks more than just legal justice, and with a sizable contract out, revenge is the order of the day. Can Ben prove his client’s innocence before the hitmen deliver or will his own name be added to an ever-growing list of victims?

Trial by Murder is a thrilling courtroom drama filled with twists and turns where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and James Chandler.

Also known as Dead Man's Jury Book 2.

What truly sets Archer apart in the world of thrillers is his ability to make each page feel like a turning point. His characters are not mere victims or heroes—they are deeply human, shaped by their pasts and their choices. These characters, often caught between right and wrong, guide readers through stories that are as thought-provoking as they are thrilling. Each of his books tackles the idea that the line between good and evil is not always as clear as we like to think.

Archer’s writing style is sharp and direct, often cutting to the heart of a situation with just a few lines of dialogue or a subtle twist. But beyond the page-turning action, his books offer something deeper: a reflection on justice, redemption, and the consequences of our decisions.

Outside of writing, Archer enjoys connecting with his readers and sharing the inspiration behind his stories. For fans of suspense, crime, and moral complexity, David Archer’s books are a must-read—stories that not only entertain but make you think long after the final page has turned.
