John J. Malone

**Series Synopsis: John J. Malone** Step into the exhilarating world of 1930s Chicago, where jazz notes waft through smoke-filled rooms, and the city’s elite dance on the edge of legality. In a landscape pulsing with intrigue and deception, John J. Malone—renowned as the defender of the guilty—delivers justice with his razor-sharp wit and unshakeable resolve. Though he thrives in defending the unscrupulous, it’s the innocents that ensnare his heart, and no case is more perplexing than that of Holly Inglehart. In “Eight Faces at Three,” Holly stands accused of murdering her despotic aunt, Alexandria, a woman whose tyranny was infamous, yet whose demise brings the spotlight down on a cast of dubious relatives and buried truths. With her fingerprints on the ornate murder weapon and a scandalous motive rooted in love, Holly’s fate rests precariously in Malone's hands. He must navigate a treacherous web of family betrayal, hidden agendas, and burgeoning affection, uncovering the true killer before a miscarriage of justice turns an innocent life into a tragic anecdote. With its blend of sharp humor, richly drawn characters, and a relentless pursuit of truth, the John J. Malone series promises an unforgettable journey through crime and courtroom drama. Each novel invites readers to unravel the mysteries of love, betrayal, and redemption, while challenging the very notions of guilt and innocence. Will Malone uncover the truth lurking behind the shadows, or will the scales of justice tip in favor of the deceitful? One thing is certain: the city may never be the same again.
