Criminal defense lawyer Luna Goldwyn has defended a long list of petty criminals facing drug court and probation violations in her short legal career, but she's never defended a cold-blooded murderer.

Until now.

Three days before closing arguments in the highly-publicized Tammy White murder trial, Luna's boss and Tammy's attorney drops dead at his desk. With no other options, Luna's forced to give closing arguments at her very first murder trial.

The problem is there's no doubt Tammy White killed her husband. She shot him right between the eyes while he slept. She confessed to the crime when she was arrested. Now she's facing the death penalty and the stakes have never been higher.

Can Luna convince a jury that her client had no other option but to kill her husband? Will Luna pull off a miracle and save Tammy's life?

When Luck Dies is the first story in The Murder Lawyer series, a novelette series about murder, family, and the grayer areas of the law. If you've ever wondered what motivates people to commit heinous crimes, this short fiction series from the author of The Waiting Room and Missing Girl is for you.
