12 Months to Live - (A Jane Smith Thriller) Large Print by James Patterson & Mike Lupica (Paperback)

About the Book

Once an NYPD cop, then a private investigator, Jane Smith is now an undefeated defense attorney who's steering a client possibly responsible for multiple murders through a headlines-making trial. She's confident and newly in love, but there are problems: she's facing a terminal diagnosis with just 14 months to live--and someone is trying to kill her.

Book Synopsis

"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.
