He sent one innocent man to die. He has 72 hours not to do it again.

Cole Quinn was the Army's best prosecutor, until the day he learned the soldier he'd convicted was innocent. By then, Danny Reyes was already dead.

Now Cole works the graveyard shift in Houston's night court, where defendants get about ninety seconds before the judge calls the next name.

At 11:31 on a Friday night, nineteen-year-old Jalen Cross is dragged to the rail, charged with murdering a decorated police officer. The city has already convicted him. But Cole sees what no one else bothered to look at: burned palms and clean knuckles. Those aren't the hands of a killer. They're the hands of someone who tried to pull a dying cop from a burning car.

The clock starts now. If Cole can't prove it by Monday night, Jalen loses the one judge protecting him and goes where the real killers can reach him.

With a disgraced investigator and an old Marine bailiff at his side, Cole follows a trail through a grieving police department, a security company that makes evidence disappear, and the fenced docks of the Houston Ship Channel. Someone inside the system is protecting the killers. They know Cole's name. They know his past. And they're betting he'll get it wrong again.

Seventy-two hours. One innocent kid. No second chances.

The Night Docket is fast-paced legal thriller for readers who love courtroom drama, a ticking clock, and a hero fighting for redemption, with gritty action and no profanity or explicit content.
