12 Months to Live

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A high-powered attorney lands the case of her life—all while learning she has twelve months to live. 12 Months to Live introduces James Patterson's favourite character since Alex Cross and marks 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.
