In 8 Months Left, master storyteller James Patterson introduces us to the relentless defence attorney Jane Smith, as she takes on one of the most harrowing cases of her career. Reunited with her most troubled client, Rob Jacobson, Jane is thrust into a complex whirlpool of mystery and danger when he is accused of a second horrifying triple homicide. Jacobson's plea of innocence and claim of being framed once again carries a ring of truth that Jane cannot ignore.

Even as she battles a terminal medical condition that looms over her like a relentless shadow, Jane refuses to back down. The stakes have never been higher as she navigates a labyrinth of deceit, powerful adversaries, and a ticking clock. With her life and career on the line, Jane's pursuit of justice is as personal as it is professional. Every twist and turn in 8 Months Left will leave readers on the edge of their seats, showcasing Patterson's unparalleled ability to captivate and thrill.

The defence may never rest.
