Publisher Description

“Patterson and Lupica make a great team” (Carl Hiaasen) who get “deep into the lives of strong women” (Louise Penny) and Jane Smith is their greatest creation—a badass lawyer with a year to live.

“Jane Smith is the best character we’ve ever created. Bar none.”
—James Patterson and Mike Lupica

Tough-as-nails criminal defense attorney Jane Smith is hip-deep in the murder trial of the century.

Actually, her charmless client might’ve committed several murders.

She’s also fallen in love with a wonderful guy. And an equally wonderful dog, a mutt.

But Jane doesn’t have much time. She’s just received a terminal diagnosis giving her twelve months.

Unless she’s murdered before her expiration date.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“Wow!! The main character Jane Smith is a badass lawyer. The storyline kept me on my toes. With the main character on trial getting a not guilty verdict and than saying “how many times can you get away with murder” I was about speechless. Then he takes her hostage with Champi and she saves everyone.”

“The good news: Jane Smith just got a dog, she’s dating the dog’s very cute and nice veterinarian, and she’s working a high-profile murder case. The bad news: The person she’s defending in that murder case is a total jackass and she’s not 100% sure he’s innocent, plus his enemies want to see him found guilty and will kill anyone who gets in their way, including Jane. Oh, and her doctor just gave her a terminal diagnosis with 12 months to live, well, 14 months—she plea bargained her way up. This is the first book in the Jane Smith series, so I hope that means she gets cured because I really like her. She’s tough, smart, and she has a dog. This was a solid, fast-paced thriller—just what you’d expect from a James Patterson novel. In celebration of the release of the paperback version of this book, I got #bookmail. Whoop whoop! But I was also able to get the audiobook on my trusty #LibbyApp. Eva Kaminsky did a great job narrating. Thank you, @NetGalley, @GrandCentralPub, @MLupicaBooks, and @JamesPattersonBooks for my gifted copy.”
