Publisher Description

He is obsessed with her innocence. He will be destroyed by her guilt.

The walls were champagne. The house was immaculate. A prosperous doctor lived there with his son and his beautiful wife. But the elegant walls hid a family's secret, a wife's shame. And one day shots rang out in the doctor's house. Suddenly Jennifer Witt was in jail, facing the death penalty.

Jennifer insisted that she had not killed her abusive husband -- and she could never have killed her own son. Dismas Hardy believed her. But Hardy was only part of the defense team, and the only lawyer who continued to believe her...even as her story was torn to pieces, even as her lies came out, even as she was found guilty of murder.

Now there's only one thing Jennifer can do to save her life...and she refuses to do it. So Hardy must do it for her. And in a shocking case of violence, betrayal, and lies, his only weapon is the truth...

The 13th Juror...When innocence is not enough.

"The 13th Juror is NOT a quick read, but it is one that you don't want to put down. The characters are very human and the plots and subplots keep you wondering just what the truth is. Jennifer Witt is accused of killing not only her abusive husband and only son, but also her first husband years earlier. The victims, except for the son, are not very likeable...but neither is Jennifer. Every character has their own agenda and it is hard to tell who or what to believe. The legal aspects of the story are very well explained and,as often in real life, the truth is complex and not easily revealed. You keep reading to the end to find out what really happened....and when you do it changes everything."

    " Most suspenseful book I've read in a long while, kept my interest throughout, was very hard to put down. Although the book seemed predictable in parts, unexpected twists show how unpredictable it really is. "

    " This Dismas Hardy novel finds Dismas working in the private sector as a defense attorney. This case finds him acting as Keenan counsel for a battered wife accused of killing her husband and son while his friend and landlord David Freeman handles the initial case. After Freeman loses the trial can Hardy find enough evidence to keep her from being put to death or even enough to have the judge set aside the verdict and free her? Good effort from Lescroart with good courtroom action and investigation. "

    " This book kept me guessing as to "who done it." Jennifer Witt tried to make everything perfect for her doctor husband who was shot dead along with her 7 year old son. Evidence mounts against Jennifer but will her attorney, Dismas Hardy, do enough to save her? Battered wife syndrome? "

    " I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person who has to keep a list of the books that I have read. Otherwise, I ended in a situation like this where I read a book over again. This book was just okay the second there wasn't in new surprises. I discovered that I had read this book before when I reached the halfway point. It was much better the first time. "
