The Spencer Dunn Legal Thrillers is a series by Peter Kirkland that follows defense attorney Spencer Dunn through criminal cases in small-town America. The series started in 2025 with Small Town Trial and currently has three books. Spencer Dunn is the kind of lawyer who gets pulled deep into his cases, and each book brings a new legal battle with real consequences for his clients and his community.
Kirkland fans who have already read the Small Town Lawyer series will feel right at home here. The Spencer Dunn books share that same focus on rural legal drama where courtroom strategy matters just as much as knowing the people involved. The series can be read on its own, but reading Small Town Lawyer first gives you a good sense of Kirkland’s style.
