The legal duo of O'Clare and Gold have just completed the successful defense of Gold's boyhood friend, Big Ben Friedman, on a murder charge. But no sooner has the trial ended than Mairead receives a mysterious phone call from Juror Number Eleven saying she must see her right away.

When Mairead arrives at Conchita Balaguer's house, all she finds is an unlocked door-and Juror Number Eleven's lifeless body. The prime suspect is none other than Big Ben Friedman. And this time, a "not guilty" verdict seems far from certain.

Jeffery Deaver called Terry Devane's first courtroom thriller "sly and brilliant." With Juror Number Eleven, Devane delivers another winner.
