12 Months to Live

A Jane Smith Thriller

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Her name is Jane Smith. But to friends and foes, she's Jane Effing Smith.


Why? Because she's the best criminal defense attorney in the Hamptons - the elite world of New York's rich and infamous. Because she's as good an investigator as she is a lawyer. Because she's tough. She's strong.

As Jane is preparing to defend a high-profile client accused of a triple homicide, she's also hired to revive a cold case - a cluster of unsolved murders.

Then another bombshell lands: a devastating medical diagnosis. Terminal. She's got a year to live.

But first, she has a trial to win. Unless one of her many enemies kills her first.
