About The Midnight Witness: Hank Luger Legal Thrillers, Book 2 (Unabridged)

A high-tech empire. A brutal murder. A case that could tear Savannah apart. There's a shiny new object in town, and Savannah's movers and shakers have swallowed it whole. A high-tech scheme built on AI smarts and crypto buzz is set to deliver a dazzling floating casino. Soon, travel writers will be calling the city America's Monte Carlo. It's a vision that doesn't leave much room for doubt—or bad headlines. When the police chief's daughter is brutally murdered, the machine moves fast. Detectives lock onto troubled ex-boyfriend Stevie Valentine, and the DA wraps a tight case around him. Questioning it means attacking the chief's grief. Defense attorney Hank Luger questions all of it. Taking Valentine's case makes him the enemy. As he digs into Natalie Weiland's history—her secret online affair, hidden investments, and her shakedown of an older lover—Hank uncovers a pattern of weaponized digital romance and ruthless scams. Is there a connection to the prized project Savannah's betting on? Enmity turns to open malice: threats against Hank, his family, and his staff. Hank can back off and let the city look the other way—or risk everything to expose what lies beneath the high-gloss promises. Hank Luger only knows one way—to push hard for the truth, no matter what the cost. The Midnight Witness delivers the sharp storytelling, moral complexity, and gripping suspense readers have come to expect from J.J. Miller—perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and Robert Dugoni.
