Langan’s second legal mystery novel, Ready for the Defense, is an intense thriller in which a lawyer, Hank Fisher, must determine who killed his boss and endangered his client, Senator Victoria Serling, after a sudden and deliberate incident. As the investigation continues, Fisher discovers untold information about his client, which could put all the pieces together in this case.

Langan’s debut novel, Dark Horse, also a legal mystery, was published earlier in 2008 by Five Star, an imprint of Gale Publishing. He lives in Syracuse, New York, with his wife and two daughters, where he is a career law clerk to a federal judge.
