The best in the game is about to lose it all
By James Patterson
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.
Rising from rock bottom
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.
“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
