Stafford Lee Penney is the best defence lawyer in Mississippi - he's never lost a case. Until now.

Hot on the heels of his latest courtroom victory, his wife is brutally murdered. Devastated, Stafford Lee spirals into a losing streak that forces him to abandon his once brilliant career.

But his wife's killer is still on the loose and they seem determined to frame Stafford Lee for their crimes. Rising from rock bottom, he makes a bold return to court - to defend himself in the biggest murder trial this town has ever seen.

Stafford Lee must crack the toughest case of his career. And this time, it's personal.

PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON

'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: nobody does it better.' JEFFERY DEAVER

'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' LEE CHILD

'Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.' MICHAEL CONNELLY

I enjoyed this story and it had an element in the middle which completely threw me as I was not expecting it. It almost meant that there was two books in one.

I can’t really give any negative comments and I did want to know what happened in the end, but it was not as exciting as I thought it could be or as other books are.

Do I regret listening to it - absolutely not. Would I recommend it? Probably not because there are better books out there but for a time filling listen, it hit the spot.

Unexpected twist in the middle.

I was pretty bored with this JP story & narration..but stopped when the boys pulled the cat out by its tail & swung it…I can’t listen to animal abuse even fictional.

Had to stop when the cat was swung by the tail
