Andie DeGrasse, an aspiring actress and single mom, is not your typical juror. Hoping to get dismissed from the pool, she tells the judge that most of her legal knowledge comes froma bit part curling around a stripper's pole in The Sopranos. But she still ends up as juror number 11 in a landmark trial against a notorious mob boss.

THE JUDGE IS TERRIFIED OF THE DEFENDANT.

The case quickly becomes the new Trial of the Century. Mafia don Dominic Cavello, known as the Electrician, is linked to hundreds of gruesome, unspeakable crimes. Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante has been tracking him for years. He knows Cavello's power reaches far beyond the courtroom, but the FBI's evidence against the ruthless killer is ironclad. Conviction is a sure thing.

SO IS THE JURY.

As the jury is about to reach a verdict, the Electrician makes one devastating move that no one could have predicted. The entire nation is reeling, and Andie's world is shattered. For her, the hunt for the Electrician becomes personal, and she and Pellisante come together in an unbreakable bond: they will exact justice --- at any cost.

THE VERDICT: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

Patterson does it again with another suspene filled action packed thriller that takes your breath away. Andie and Nick were great characters. I enjoyed the locales this story takes you to and Patterson is so excellent in describing the surroundings that you feel you are physically there.

If you have never read any of Patterson's books, you are missing out on several hours of pure entertainment and fantastic story-telling.
