Book One of The Lawman Series
By Shadab Alam Khanson
A murdered High Court judge. A tribal boy framed.
And a lawyer who turns the courtroom into a battlefield.
When Justice M. M. Mishra is found dead inside his chamber at the Jharkhand High Court, the legal system erupts in chaos. A tribal teenager is arrested, the media brands him a terrorist, and the state rushes toward a conviction. But beneath the surface lies something far more dangerous-a conspiracy stretching from dusty police stations to the highest echelons of power.
Enter Gourav Gatha-charismatic, ruthless in argument, and feared across courtrooms as The Lawman. After months away from legal practice, Gourav returns to find the justice system cracking under pressure and a sinister force pulling the strings: ASTRA, a secretive syndicate with one goal-control the courts from the inside.
As Gourav digs deeper, challenging fabricated evidence, invoking forgotten provisions of the BNS, BNSS, and BSA, and holding corrupt officers accountable, he uncovers a trail of missing witnesses, tampered CCTV footage, and buried legal truths. But the more he pushes, the more the system pushes back-raids, threats, contempt notices, and political intimidation.
In a courtroom lit by flashbulbs and fueled by lies, Gourav must fight not just for his client, but for the soul of the judiciary.
A fast-paced legal thriller packed with suspense, courtroom clashes, forensic twists, and moral conflict, The Lawman: Trial by Fire marks the rise of a new kind of Indian hero-armed not with violence, but with law itself.
Praise for the series:
A gripping, intelligent, and utterly thrilling journey through the dark heart of Indian justice.
Shadab Alam Khanson writes with the authority of a lawyer and the storytelling craft of a born novelist.
