Juror #3 is the first book in James Patterson’s Ruby Bozarth series, which features the newly appointed defense attorney who is already swamped with work as soon as she starts her new job. When a high-ranking family member is murdered, Ruby gets on the case. Since she is still so new at the job, some people hope that her inexperience give them the result they want: a fast conviction. But when a second murder occurs, things are no longer as simple as they looked like originally.
A young attorney is defending her client in a racially charged felony case—but in a town of old money and hidden secrets, her first trial may be her last in this thriller from the world’s #1 bestselling author. Ruby Bozarth, a newcomer to Rosedale, Mississippi, is also fresh to the State Bar—and to the docket of Circuit Judge Baylor, who taps Ruby as defense counsel. The murder of a woman from one of the town’s oldest families has Rosedale’s upper crust howling for blood, and the prosecutor is counting on Ruby’s inexperience to help him deliver a swift conviction.
Ruby’s client is a college football star who has returned home after a career-ending injury, and she is determined to build a defense that will stick. She finds help in unexpected quarters from Suzanne, a hard-charging attorney armed to the teeth, and Shorty, a diner cook who knows more than he lets on. Ruby never belonged to the country club set, but once she nearly married into it. As news breaks of a second murder, Ruby’s ex-fiancé shows up on her doorstep—a Southern gentleman in need of a savior. As lurid, intertwining investigations unfold, no one in Rosedale can be trusted, especially the twelve men and women impaneled on the jury. They may be hiding the most incendiary secret of all.
