Synopsis
Thaddeus Murfee is the lawyer who sues the mob and wins their casino. After that, it's jet airplanes, ranches and surf, and clients in trouble. But still, the kind of guy who would rather get it right than make it rich.
Meet Thaddeus Murfee. When the police come knocking, the lawyer you want is a never-say-quit criminal lawyer with a waitress-client whose date carved his name in her chest. The knifeman is found dead, and the waitress hires Thaddeus. Thaddeus takes on the case that could cost him his license and life. Watch from your front-row seat as Thaddeus Murfee walks into this courtroom drama, a massive underdog with his client, a waitress whose only crime was bad taste in who she went out with.
Stay up tonight, turn off the news, and get back to that special place where you read and let the world pass by, with THE DEFENDANTS, book one of John Ellsworth's critically acclaimed legal thriller series featuring Thaddeus Murfee, his investigator Marcel (lately of Interpol), and Christine, a wife who won a Silver Star in Iraq when her unit was ambushed, who now stands by her man and has his back.
