Casey Jordan Books in Order

The Casey Jordan novels center on a sharp Texas attorney who has climbed from a hardscrabble farm to the top of the legal world. Casey is ambitious and quick on her feet in court, but she also has a stubborn sense that the law should actually deliver justice, not just clever arguments.

In The Letter of the Law, Casey defends her former law professor, Eric Lipton, who is accused of a brutal, ritualistic murder of one of his students. The case becomes a media circus, and Casey’s aggressive strategy shreds the credibility of the victim’s family and the lead detective. She wins a stunning acquittal, only to have Lipton whisper a chilling confession as the verdict is read. That moment shatters her faith in the system she has mastered.

Shaken, Casey walks away from her high-powered firm and wealthy husband and opens a legal-aid clinic that serves people with nowhere else to go. She is still a courtroom star, but now she is battling overworked prosecutors, indifferent bureaucracies, and the financial reality of trying to keep the lights on while doing the right thing.

Above the Law pulls Casey into a case that no one in authority wants touched. A popular young senator “accidentally” shoots an undocumented worker on his Texas ranch, and the victim’s family faces deportation instead of justice. When prosecutors refuse to challenge such a powerful figure, Casey sues him in civil court on behalf of the widow, uncovering a tangle of political spin, immigration abuses, and personal danger.

In False Convictions, Casey partners with the Freedom Project, a well-funded nonprofit that works to exonerate the wrongfully imprisoned. Her first assignment seems straightforward: use modern DNA testing to clear Dwayne Hubbard, a Black man who has spent nearly two decades in prison for a college student’s murder. Once she arrives in small-town upstate New York, though, she runs into stonewalling officials, death threats, and a community desperate to keep old secrets buried.

Throughout the series, the cases are big and the stakes are obvious, but what keeps the books grounded is Casey herself. Green lets readers see her missteps, doubts, and messy personal life alongside her courtroom brilliance. The result is a legal-thriller sequence that asks hard questions about who the law truly protects while still delivering page-turning suspense.
