Criminal attorney Jane Smith， tough as nails， has received a terminal diagnosis and doesn't have much time。  Is her own client trying to kill her first？

“Jane Smith is the best character we’re 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。
