"Andie DeGrasse, an aspiring actress and single mom, is not your typical juror. Hoping to get dismissed from the pool, she tells the judge that most of her legal knowledge comes from a bit part curling around the stripper's pole in The Sopranos. But she still ends up as juror number 11 in a landmark trial against a notorious mob boss.
THE JUDGE IS TERRIFIED OF THE DEFENDANT.
The case quickly becomes the new Trial of the Century. Mafia don Dominic Cavello, known as the Electrician, is linked to hundreds of gruesome, unspeakable crimes. Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante has been tracking him for years. He knows Cavello's power reaches far beyond the courtroom but the FBI's evidence against the ruthless killer is ironclad. Conviction is sure thing.
SO IS THE JURY.
As the jury is about to reach a verdict, the Electrician makes one devastating move that no one could have predicted. The entire nation is reeling, and Andie's world is shattered. For her, the hunt for the Electrician becomes personal, and she and Pellisante come together in an unbreakable bond: they exact justice --- at any cost.
THE VERDICT: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE." (From Amazon)
I really liked this suspenseful novel.

It was a quick, easy entertaining read, like all his books. The "relationship" between Andie and Nick felt very contrived, though. Not my favorite by him, but certainly a nice way to kill time.

I loved that it was a murdery/crime book as usual, but with less grotesque details. It was an easy, interesting read. I finished it in 2 days wanting to know how they’d finally get the bad guy. I liked it better than other Patterson books I read.

Really, really enjoyed this story. The first half of the book I couldn't put it down. Momentum dwindled for me during the last part. Maybe because I liked the Israeli and didn't care for him being labeled that when he wasn't. Or maybe because i think it is hypocritical for people to do what they hated having done to them. Definitely a gripping story worth reading.
