An extraordinary new courtroom drama from Sunday Times bestselling thriller author James Patterson and Academy Award winner Viola Davis. Get ready to meet the most unforgettable character in years.

All rise…for Judge Stone.

The most respected citizen in Union Springs, Alabama (population 3,314), is Judge Mary Stone. She holds two responsibilities sacred: running her family farm and presiding over her courtroom. Everything changes when she draws the most controversial case in the history of the South.

Criminally, it’s open-and-shut.

Ethically, there is no middle ground.

Essentially, it’s a choice between life and death.

No judge can satisfy everyone. It would be dangerous to try. But Judge Stone is willing to fight to bring justice to the people and place she loves.

An explosive legal thriller that will keep you turning pages until the stunning conclusion.

This book is incredible—a powerful and emotional look at what has been happening in America and what still needs to change. It broke my heart page by page, stirred anger at times, and ultimately inspired me to support justice and meaningful progress.

While it doesn’t directly name current political movements, it clearly reflects how the United States has, in many ways, slipped back toward the injustices of the 1960s and earlier. Yet, even in that reality, it carries a strong message of hope: if we choose to stand up and do what’s right, there is still a path forward.

A future where our children can truly grow, thrive, and prosper is still possible—but only if we fight for it.

Thank you for writing this important and moving book.
