A young attorney is defending her client in a racially charged felony case—but in a town of old money and hidden secrets, her first trial may be her last in this #1 New York Times bestselling legal thriller.
Ruby Bozarth, a newcomer to Rosedale, Mississippi, is also fresh to the State Bar—and to the docket of Circuit Judge Baylor, who taps the young lawyer as defense counsel. The victim’s identity is the hottest scandal in town—until news breaks of a second murder. No one in Rosedale can be trusted, especially not the twelve men and women impaneled on the jury. They may be hiding the most incendiary secret of all.
“Entertaining … part detective novel, part courtroom thriller and entirely readable.” —Bookreporter
