A disgraced high school teacher is murdered in front of his house.
A former student is charged.

San Francisco attorney, Maureen Gould, steps in to defend a former client, now charged with the murder of his abuser. Years earlier, they won a multi-million dollar verdict against the now-deceased teacher. But when jury misconduct is discovered, the verdict was overturned. The client, who only told the truth, is left to suffer public vilification as well as his own shame. But is he capable of murder?

As Maureen digs deeper, she uncovers a web of decades-old secrets and lies that extends far beyond a single murder. No one is who they pretend to be. No one tells the truth. Meanwhile, her client is nearly beaten to death in jail.

In a race against time, can Maureen uncover the truth to save her client's life?

The Millionaire is the second book in the series of true-to-life legal thrillers. If you like page-turners filled with twist and turns, compelling characters, and courtroom drama, you'll love The Millionaire.

Praise for The Millionaire

Book two in the Maureen Gould legal thriller series will keep you up into the wee smalls! The author, a lawyer herself, invests private attorney Gould, her prosecutor husband Jake, and daughter Quinn (an attorney wannabe) with such authenticity that I feel they are family. I even adore their kitty Germaine Greer.

The court scenes explode as Gould defends Tony Paredes, accused of murdering his former coach Oscar, who raped him at school. Oscar's wife contends Tony is guilty. Senior Prosecutor Vivian Thandie, who has never lost a case, agrees. Gould fights for justice, all the while contending with her own scars as an abuse victim.

I was so gripped as the taut story unspooled that I skipped meals and virtually ignored my husband (sorry, babe).

If you love legal thrillers that are smart, jet-paced, and ring with such truth that you can't put them down, THE MILLIONAIRE is for you. Highly recommended!
