From James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author: a young
lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown--and ends up in
jail herself.
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 behind these incriminating
secrets.
Sometimes the best education a lawyer can get is a short stretch of
hard time.
