内容简介 Andie DeGrasse, aspiring actress and single mother, does not want to do jury service. But despite her attempts to get dismissed, she still ends up as Juror No.11 in a landmark trial against notorious Mafia Don, Dominic Cavello. Cavello, A.K.A the Electrician, is linked to hundreds of unspeakable crimes and his power knows no bounds. But Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante has been tracking him for years and conviction is a sure thing. As the jury reaches its verdict, the Electrician makes a devastating move. The entire nation is reeling, and Andie's world is shattered. The hunt for Cavello just got personal, and she and Pellisante join together, determined to exact justice -- at any cost.

Synopsis This is a chilling and pacy thriller from internationally bestselling author James Patterson - it will keep you up all night. It''s the trial of the decade - Dominick Cavallo, the modern-day Godfather, has finally been put in the dock, and there''s enough evidence to convict him. Heavy security surrounds the courtroom, and Nick Pellisante, the FBI agent who helped to nail him, keeps a close eye on proceedings. But things quickly start to go wrong. Faced with anonymous threats, the jury is sequestered. Then, the bus taking them to their hotel is blown up, and only Andie DeGrasse survives. Andie''s child was on the bus: she is adamant justice must be done, not to Cavallo alone, but to whoever planted that bomb. She and Pellisante both know that will be difficult, but they can''t foresee just how difficult.
