A high-powered attorney lands the case of her life - all while learning she has twelve months to live. James Patterson's favourite character since Alex Cross and a major new series launch.

'A gutsy heroine. A ticking clock. A breathless pace. Wow! This one had me reeling' JANE CORRY

_____________________

Her name is Jane Smith. But to friends and foes, she's Jane Effing Smith.

Why? Because she's the best criminal defence attorney in the Hamptons - the elite world of New York's rich and infamous. Because she's as good an investigator as she is a lawyer. Because she's tough. She's strong.

As Jane is preparing to defend a high-profile client accused of a triple homicide, she's also hired to revive a cold case - a cluster of unsolved murders.

Then another bombshell lands. A devastating medical diagnosis. Terminal. She's got a year to live.

But for now, she has a trial to win. Unless one of her many enemies kills her first.
