The Defendant

Lucius White is in for the fight of his life-and one of the lives at risk is his own. FBI agent Lincoln Powers is apparently killed to keep him from testifying in a drug case against Raul Alvarez. But is that the real reason for Powers' murder. The prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Karen Mallory, is convinced it was a murder-for-hire and brings charges against DeShawn Dwyer. Dwyer has no alibi, was supposedly at the crime scene on the night of the murder, and bought a new motorcycle immediately after the shooting. It's a circumstantial case, but it's a strong one, and many nefarious players want Dwyer convicted. The Defendant takes you deep inside the mind of a criminal defense attorney as he investigates the charges against Dwyer, plots his strategy, and builds his case in the page-turning trial. The Defendant is bestselling author Alan P. Woodruff's seventh Lucius White novel. If you like legal thrillers with action, drama and plenty of twists and a recurring cast of characters, you'll love the intelligent and well-crafted Lucius White novels.
