What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Two brand-new legal thrillers in one book - from the authors of Juror No. 3

A young lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown - and ends up behind bars...

In picture-perfect Erva, Alabama, the most serious crimes are misdemeanors. Speeding tickets. Shoplifting. Contempt of court.

Then why is the jail so crowded? And why are so few prisoners released? There's only one place to learn the truth.

Sometimes the best education a lawyer can get is a short stretch of hard time.

Critics Review

I couldn't put down Jailhouse Lawyer, a page-turning legal thriller that exposes a headline-making crisis in the American courts: the new debtors' prisons, where an inability to pay court costs sentences poor people to jail, with devastating consequences.
TONY MESSENGER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.
LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.
