About This Jury Is Guilty: A Novel

Everyone is Watching meets Twelve Angry Men in a tense and twisty locked-room thriller where, sequestered together until the Hollywood trial is closed, a jury must decide the fate of an actor accused of attempted murder, but this jury has explosive secrets, and one of them is about to get away with a murder of their own. No one here is innocent. Hollywood's biggest movie star, Danny Scott, stands accused of trying to murder his wife, starlet Hope Harrison, in a case that has taken the world by storm. Everyone is asking: What led to the events of that night, and what darker truths simmer beneath the surface of Danny and Hope's marriage? As the world watches, twelve sequestered jurors must decide Danny's fate – and the world is gripped by their every deliberation. But even a jury has its secrets… Juror 6 is risking everything for this trial. Even her life. Juror 2 is playing games. But can he keep one step ahead of his own lies? Juror 13, the alternate, will do anything to be on that jury. Anything. And Juror 7 is hardly noticed by anyone. Just as she planned. As each juror vies for the verdict they want, secrets, obsessions, and plots for revenge will come to light in the stands. Because everyone is lying. Everyone is guilty. And one of them might be planning a murder of their own. With shocking twists and propulsive pacing, This Jury Is Guilty is a thought-provoking, locked-room thriller exploring our obsessions with true crime, the blurry lines between fact and fiction, and the lengths we're willing to go to seek justice. For fans of Amy Tintera, Steve Cavanagh, and Ellery Lloyd.
