The Wild Card (Mitch Turner Legal Thrillers #7)

MITCH TURNER IS UNDER CRIMINAL SUSPICION.
For the first time in his life, Mitch Turner is being investigated for possible criminal charges stemming from his shooting of Pace Brooks. While Mitch knows the prosecutors are just blowing smoke, he’s concerned they’ll find some small thing to prosecute. At the same time, he’s approached by Heidi Rebane, the wife of Cook County State’s Attorney Patrick Rebane. She’s also the former lover of Pace Brooks. Mitch is surprised she needs a criminal defense attorney and even more surprised that she’s coming to him.

A COMPLEX MURDER CASE WITH MANY QUESTIONS.
Two of Heidi’s business partners have been gunned down in the middle of a busy street, and she worries the police will blame her for what happened. She is an obvious suspect and has no confidence in the official investigation. She wants Mitch to look into the case while it’s still early, hoping to avoid criminal charges. Suspecting a mob connection, Mitch begins his investigation and immediately learns that the victims were involved in an identity theft ring. That’s only the beginning of what he uncovers.

THE HAMMER COMES DOWN.
It isn’t long before Heidi’s fears come to fruition, and she’s charged with murdering her two business partners. Law enforcement sees the case in black and white, but for Mitch, there are many nuances. And there is no doubt in his mind that somebody is working behind the scenes, guiding things toward an unclear goal. Not only that, Mitch feels somebody watching him from the shadows, monitoring every step he takes.

Can Mitch figure out what this unseen person is trying to accomplish before it’s too late?
