The Maggie Gallagher Legal Thriller series is written by Peter Kirkland and follows attorney Maggie Gallagher as she takes on cases that put both her legal skills and her safety to the test. The series began in 2025 and has grown quickly, with five books published or announced through 2026.
If you enjoy legal thrillers with a strong female lead and courtroom tension that bleeds into real danger, this series is a good fit. Kirkland also writes the Small Town Lawyer series and the Spencer Dunn Legal Thrillers, both of which share his focus on legal drama in smaller communities.
