12 Months to Live

“ 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.
