The Pro Bono Client
A Psychological Legal Thriller with a Mind-Bending Twist
When overworked attorney Maya Ellison is forced to defend a homeless man accused of stabbing a hedge-fund manager, she expects a routine pro bono case—a quick plea, a box checked, a return to billables.
Then her client asks for her by name.
Then he predicts a tragedy that happens exactly as he describes.
Every attempt to drop the case triggers another disaster in Maya's life—break-ins, accidents, betrayals—and each time, the mysterious defendant seems to know intimate details about her past, her secrets, even her future.
As the case spirals into obsession, Maya is caught between a powerful Wall Street conspiracy and the terrifying possibility that her client can actually bend time itself. To save her career—and her sanity—she must decide what's real, what's staged, and who's pulling the strings.
Fans of Lisa Gardner, Michael Connelly, and Gillian Flynn will devour this taut, psychological legal thriller where courtroom realism collides with eerie, reality-warping suspense.
If you love stories that fuse high-stakes legal drama, female-driven psychological tension, and mind-bending mystery, The Pro Bono Client will keep you reading long past the verdict.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
•Legal thrillers with psychological and conspiratorial twists
•Smart, morally complex female protagonists
•Law-firm secrets, ethical dilemmas, and courtroom battles
•Reality-bending suspense in the vein of Primal Fear, The Night Of, and Severance
