The Hamptons Lawyer

Jane "Effing" Smith has never lost a case. But the body count leading up to her last trial makes it clear: someone will do anything to keep her from winning again. 



Attorney Jane Smith's top client is a Hamptons real estate celebrity standing trial for triple homicide. 



When her client's many enemies put Jane at the top of their kill list, mounting a legal defense turns into self-defense. 



Knowing every day in court could be her last, she's armed and ready: with brilliant arguments, hard evidence-and two Glock 26s. 



Until she hears the words "not guilty," Jane Smith will Never Say Die. James Patterson is the most popular storyteller of our time.
