12 Months to Live: A Knock-Out New Series from James Patterson

The phenomenal Patterson, one of the great storytellers of our time, does not often produce a new character, but he does here to stunning effect. - Daily Mail

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

Compelling. - Crime Monthly

Her name is Jane Smith. But to friends and foes, she's Jane Effing Smith. Why? Because she's the best criminal defense 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.
