The Dana Hargrove series follows a prosecutor in the New York criminal justice system across seven books. Dana is a career attorney who handles serious cases, from homicides to corruption, and the novels balance courtroom drama with the personal cost of that kind of work. Thursday’s List (2012) introduces Dana and the world she operates in, establishing the procedural tone that carries through the rest of the series.

Later entries raise the stakes. Homicide Chart (2014) puts Dana closer to a murder investigation, while Forsaken Oath (2016) and Deep Zero (2018) push her into cases where the ethical lines are less clear. Seven Shadows (2020) and Power Blind (2022) continue to develop both the legal plots and Dana’s personal life. The series is best read in order, since character relationships and professional consequences carry over between books. A Dana Hargrove Double collects earlier material and can be read as a companion to the main sequence.
