Killer Contract
A high-stakes Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer, a dangerous client, and a contract killer closing in. Defending the guilty is one thing. Staying alive is another.

As Robbie prepares for a high-profile retrial, the case begins to unravel. A murdered woman, missing evidence, and a client who’s holding something back. Then comes the real problem: someone has taken out a contract on Robbie—and they’re not waiting. With his injured father underfoot, a marriage proposal hanging in the balance, and a killer closing in, Robbie is forced to dig fast and think faster. Because this time, losing the case won’t just cost him his reputation. It will cost him his life. Killer Contract is Book 4 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series.
