The Midnight Witness (Hank Luger Legal Thrillers Book 2)

A high-tech scheme involving AI and cryptocurrency promises to bring a floating casino to Savannah, positioning the city as America's Monte Carlo. The project has captured the enthusiasm of the city's influential figures. When the police chief's daughter, Natalie Weiland, is brutally murdered, detectives quickly focus on her ex-boyfriend Stevie Valentine. The district attorney builds a case against him, but questioning the investigation means challenging the chief's grief. Defense attorney Hank Luger takes Valentine's case and begins investigating Natalie's background, uncovering a secret online affair, hidden investments, and her involvement in scamming an older lover. He discovers a pattern of weaponized digital romance and ruthless schemes. As he digs deeper, he wonders whether these activities connect to Savannah's prized development project. Hank's pursuit of the truth triggers escalating threats against him, his family, and his staff. He faces a choice: back away and allow the city to ignore what he's discovered, or risk everything to expose the reality beneath the project's polished promises.
