He snooped around a murder scene. Now he's in the crosshairs. Thaddeus Murfee is a rookie lawyer with less than 18 months of courtroom experience, and completely unprepared for the complicated case that he is asked to defend. When a local waitress claims that she has been molested by a powerful businessman with mob ties, she asks Thad to represent her in a civil suit. But, when the accused turns up dead, and the waitress's fingerprints are on the weapon, Thad finds himself having to defend her against a possible death penalty - and against retribution from the mob. In this small town, nothing is as it seems - and nobody is who they say they are. The Defendants is book 1 of the Thaddeus Murfee Legal Thriller Series, which has more than 1.5 million readers and counting, and made John Ellsworth into a household name. If you love page-turning thrillers with mystery, clandestine plotting, and a dash of romance, dive into the world of Thaddeus Murfee today
