James Chandler’s Sam Johnstone series has eight books published between 2020 and 2026. The titles, from Misjudged to Reasonable Suspicion, suggest legal fiction with courtroom and investigative themes. Chandler has released about one book per year since the series began, keeping a steady pace.
The series follows Sam Johnstone across all eight entries, so reading in publication order is the best approach. False Evidence and Capital Justice appeared in 2021 and 2022 respectively, followed by The Truthful Witness (2023), Conflict of Duty (2024), Course of Conduct (2025), and the newest installment, Reasonable Suspicion (2026).
