The Midnight Verdict
(2026)(The third book in the Hank Luger Legal Thrillers series)
A novel by J J Miller
A cold-blooded murder pulls Hank into a Savannah divided by wealth, power, and progress.
When preservationist Finn Sheldon is murdered, the cops round on Jefferson Toombs, a brash developer with a bad reputation and a very public history of conflict with the dead man.
Toombs swears he’s innocent. Few people are inclined to believe him.
Hank Luger wants nothing to do with the case. But when Toombs comes knocking, armed with damning information that could drag Hank’s family into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, turning him away is no longer an option.
As Hank begins to investigate, he finds the case is anything but black and white. Sheldon’s death is wrapped in wealth, influence, and long-buried loyalties, and as Savannah’s authorities push for a quick judgment, Hank begins to see that powerful people have every reason to keep the truth buried.
Defending a hated client draws Hank into a web of political interests, buried secrets, and old Savannah power. In this city, power protects its own, truth comes at a cost, and old scores are still being settled.
With sharp courtroom drama, old Savannah intrigue, and twists rooted in power, loyalty, and revenge, The Midnight Verdict is another gripping legal thriller from J.J. Miller.
Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Dugoni, Robert Bailey, and Michael Connelly.
Genre: Mystery
