Books about Court Cases

Martha and Becky are sisters who love and trust each other. At least they thought that was the case. But when the unthinkable happens and Martha`s child dies in Becky`s care, the siblings are thrown into a lawsuit to uncover the truth about what really happened to the baby. This story, which explores topics such as parenting, family, care and guilt, is as exciting and exciting as it is moving. A truly original thriller. In my new novel The Killing Child, the heroine is a young lawyer named Ingrid Lewis. She uses her time in court to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with, but the consequences for her are far beyond anything she can expect. It`s more of a thriller with a legal framework than a legal thriller, but court scenes are key to the plot. I`m married to a lawyer who does the same job as Ingrid, so I was able to draw on her personal experiences with the moments in the courtroom – good and bad – to make him believable.

Bennie Rosato, head of an all-female law firm, has built her career on eliminating dirty cops. When her new client, accused police officer Alice Connolly, says her murdered police detective boyfriend was selling drugs, Bennie believes her. What Crusade`s lawyer finds it harder to accept is Alice`s claim that she and Bennie are identical twins. A DNA test will solve the mystery, but in the meantime, Bennie must save Alice from the electric chair. Mistaken Identity is an exceptional entry into the Rosato & Associates series, which constantly offers thrills, romance and intense court scenes. It`s a universally accepted truth that whatever writers do, Dickens did it first. A Tale of Two Cities is known for its incredible opening paragraph (“It was the best of all time, it was the worst of all time”) and its setting during the French Revolution, but the trials of Charles Darnay are at the heart of the plot. Initially accused of treason, his defense depends on the fact that lawyer Sydney Carton looks so much like him. Later in the plot, this will prove to be of great importance, after a trial that ends with a death sentence and a date with the guillotine. Dickens has always been drawn to moments of great drama, and A Tale of Two Cities takes advantage of the courtroom environment. Carter, a professor at Yale Law School, fills every chapter with insider knowledge of the federal justice system and the rare world of New England`s black upper class, making The Emperor of Ocean Park one of the most insightful legal thrillers of the past 20 years.

World No. 1 bestselling author James Patterson is back with a new thriller co-written with Nancy Allen – The Jailhouse Lawyer. Erva, Alabama, is a sleepy city where very few crimes seem to occur, other than misdemeanors. Fines and shoplifting are about as savage as the crimes in this small town. But if so, why is the prison so overcrowded? When lawyer and single mother Martha Foster tries to find out what`s going on in her city, she faces a corrupt judge. And can end up in prison himself. If you ask a group of crime writers what their favorite thrillers are, Presumed Innocent will likely appear on the list. Rusty Sabich has a habit of prosecuting murders, but he is tried when his lover is found dead. It`s especially exciting to see how the trial unfolds from the perspective of the accused – a man who knows exactly what is going on and what to expect if convicted. The plot twists and turns are rightly famous; When you start reading, be prepared to stay up all night until it`s done. DA Assistant Kate Stone has just suffered the biggest loss of her career.

She had worked so hard to prosecute a serial offender of women, and it was a case she should have won. But a corrupt judge allowed Max James to be released. When he confronts her in front of the courthouse, she beats James, and he goes hard to the ground. Once the images are plastered on all the TV screens, Kate`s boss demands that she attend anger management meetings or leave the job she lives for. Reluctantly, Kate attends their first meeting. Inside is a group of people who have all been abandoned by the justice system. Their mission: to do everything in their power to help correct wrongs, even if it is outside the law. Not knowing who to trust this unlikely team of apostates, Kate begins to dig into Max James` secret life, and she unknowingly unleashes a fight that will rage in the city that never sleeps. This brilliant thriller mixes legal issues with politics and a very beautiful thriller. It took place in Houston in 1996 as the mayoral campaign intensified. A young activist disappears and the nephew of the African-American mayoral candidate is charged with murder.

Attorney Jay Porter returns (after his first appearance in Black Water Rising) to defend himself in his first-ever murder trial and find out what really happened – and why. The scenes in the courtroom are essential to unravel the complex and brilliant plot that attracts politics, a corporate pollution lawsuit, historic real estate decisions, and two previous unsolved murders. Harper Lee, the daughter of a lawyer, was fascinated by the criminal justice system – she helped her good friend Truman Capote research In Cold Blood and, as the new book Furious Hours reveals, she was about to finish her own work as a real crime. So it`s no wonder that this popular coming-of-age classic features some of the most compelling court scenes in American fiction, as Atticus Finch defends his client Tom Robinson against the false accusation that he raped a white woman. For millions of readers around the world, Atticus is the embodiment of what a good lawyer should be – trustworthy, fair and willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of personal cost. The nine-million-copy bestseller tells the story of Rožat “Rusty” Sabich, a prosecutor accused of the brutal murder of his collaborator Carolyn Polhemus and his long and bitter court battle. Is he really innocent until proven guilty? One of the greatest genre novels of the 1980s, which became even more popular thanks to the film starring Harrison Ford. Smart, unpredictable and a real pageturner. I recommend John Fairfax`s three books with an unusual protagonist, a criminal defense lawyer and a convicted murderer William Benson. Captivating stories! Harry Bosch left the LAPD in less than ideal circumstances. Now, outside defender Mickey Haller has asked him to go “to the dark side” and help with the defense. It is Bosch as we have never seen before, in danger of betraying the principles on which he has built his entire career.
