Judge And Jury

Echoes of Justice

When an upstanding federal judge is gunned down in broad daylight, Detective Alex Cross is called to the scene, only to find that the victim’s daughter, Emily Dawson, has vanished without a trace. In Judge And Jury, James Patterson takes readers on a searing journey through the corridors of power and vengeance, where every clue uncovers a deeper conspiracy. As Cross scrambles to protect Emily from a merciless assassin’s crosshairs, he must navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue and family secrets—where honor can be bought, and loyalty is the deadliest gamble of all.

Crossing the Line

Haunted by his own past failures, Cross forms an uneasy alliance with prosecutor Brittany “Bree” Wilder, whose career hinges on exposing corruption at the highest levels. Together, they chase leads from opulent Washington townhouses to seedy backroom bars, following the trail of a clandestine organization known only as “The Jury.” With every witness silenced and every alibi crumbling, Cross must outwit foes who control the courts themselves. Patterson’s signature blend of heart-pounding action and razor-sharp dialogue pulses through each chapter, propelling readers toward a showdown where the scales of justice teeter on the edge of catastrophe.

Verdict of Vengeance

As Emily’s life hangs in the balance, Cross confronts the ultimate question: how far will he go when the rule of law fails? In a breathtaking climax beneath the austere columns of the Supreme Court, alliances shatter and true motives are laid bare. With time running out and the body count rising, Cross must deliver his own brand of justice—one that transcends verdicts and redefines the meaning of redemption. Judge And Jury is a relentless thriller that challenges the notion that courts can always deliver truth, and proves that sometimes, only one man can tip the scales.
