About this ebook
From award-winning author Meg Gardiner, co-author of Michael Mann’s Heat 2
JUDGE, JURY—AND EXECUTION.
Rory Mackenzie vowed to never return to her hometown of Ransom River, California. But she comes back and does her civic duty. Now she’s juror number seven on a high-profile murder case.
While most of the town is focused on the tense and shocking circumstances of the trial, Rory’s return to Ransom River dredges up troubling memories from her childhood that she can no longer ignore. And in the wake of a desperate attack on the courthouse, Rory realizes exposing these dark skeletons has connected her to an old case that was never solved, and that bringing the truth to light just might destroy her.
You can’t go home again—and survive—in this mesmerizing crime novel by Meg Gardiner, “a top-tier mystery writer at the top of her game” (BookPage).

I liked the book..fast paced..kept me hooked, but it would have been just as good without the profanity. Harlen Coben and John Grisham write great books without it.

Good plot, but written more like a high school student.
