The Fifth Joseph Antonelli Legal Thriller of Hollywood Murders and Director Scandals

San Francisco defense attorney Joseph Antonelli travels to Los Angeles to represent legendary movie director Stanley Roth, who is accused of brutally murdering his famous actress wife inside their Hollywood Hills mansion. Roth treats the murder trial as his ultimate cinematic production, manipulating evidence and attempting to direct his own defense team.

As Antonelli battles the prosecution, he realizes he is locked in a psychological battle of wits with his own client. In a city where image overrides truth, Antonelli must navigate media circus tactics to uncover what really happened on the night of the murder.

Why You’ll Love This Book
