The Bishop's Recusal (Alex Hayes Legal Thrillers)

A murdered student. A privileged suspect. And a judge with too much to lose. When federal prosecutor Alex Hayes is handed a politically sensitive homicide case, it feels like a setup. The victim is the daughter of one of the most powerful judges in the country. The accused—her boyfriend—has money, influence, and something to hide. And everyone else at the DOJ has mysteriously stepped aside. As Alex digs into the case, strange inconsistencies emerge. Forensic oddities. A missing journal. And a cryptic chess piece delivered to her doorstep—one that links this case to the shadowy conspiracy she's been chasing for years. The deeper she goes, the more dangerous it becomes. Witnesses won’t talk. Evidence disappears. And the courtroom becomes a battlefield not just for justice, but for survival. Because in Washington, the truth isn’t just buried—it’s protected. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Lisa Scottoline, The Bishop’s Recusal is a twist-filled legal thriller that delivers razor-sharp suspense, explosive courtroom drama, and a prosecutor who won’t quit—even when the system wants her silenced.
