Judge & Jury

Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante is closing in on the notorious mob boss "The Electrician," when the scheduled sting goes spectacularly awry. Two FBI agents are dead, the boss is wounded, and Pellisante vows the Electrician's next move will be from a jail cell.

Andie Echeverra, a part-time actress and a single, full-time mom, is assigned her next role as Juror #11 in the landmark trial against Mafia Don Dominic Cavello. Everybody is on edge. No one has ever crossed the man whose orders have made entire families disappear.

Though Cavello's influence extends across blue uniforms and black robes, the case should be open-and-shut. But the legal system fails with devastating results, and Nick and Andie are the only ones left to seek justice. To stop the Electrician, they must take matters into their own hands. They are the judge and jury now.

James Patterson spins an all-out heart-pounding legal thriller that pits two people against the most vicious and powerful mobster since John Gotti.

What a time killer! No more no less... Great~, 2008-12-04
I read this book in 3 sittings over 14 hour period.

This is what I call a perfect time killer book. When you have nothing else to do and you just want to read something fun to kill time, I strongly recommend this book.

I am giving it 5 stars not because it is a masterpiece that cannot be duplicated but it is so well written with given premise that I don't see how the author could have improved it.

Don't spend more than paperback price for it.

A great listen - exciting and well done!, 2008-11-29
My husband and I had a long road trip ahead of us and decided to listen to Judge and Jury on CD - Unabridged. The reader/actor Joe Mantega did a great job of playing out all the parts and making the story so believable.

The story was well constructed and in many places kept us on the edge of our seats. A little predictable but all and all it was very entertaining.

I don't think I've ever disliked a villain more than I did Dominic Cavello - he was just plain nasty.

I highly recommend the CD's for a great listen, especially for a long road trip. It certainly made time fly for us!

Patterson does it again in this riveting, nail-biter. The characters and plot are exellent. I really enjoyed the court room scenes, very realistic. Another good read.

Charles D. Richardson author of the military thriller, The Pact. Coming soon, Flying Machines.

Judge & Jury, 2008-08-31
The audio book shipped fast and was packaged very well. The prices are
always good at Amazon also. I will continue buying products from Amazon.

The book itself was great. I already had it in hardback but bought the
audio for my husband to listen to while traveling back and forth to work.
Patterson usually comes out with great books and this one was no exception. When I started reading, I could barely put it down.

Not vintage Patterson, but a light read! Probably more of a 2.5!, 2008-08-13
"Judge & Jury" by James Patterson's is yet another collaboration with Andrew Gross. The two once again team up for a quick and easy suspense novel. Meet Andie DeGrasse, a single mother/struggling actress who has been called as a potential juror in the highly publicized trial of Mafia Don Dominic Cavello. Tracked down and brought to justice by a dedicated FBI Agent, Nick Pellisante, Cavello is preparing for his trial, which is turning into the trial of the century. Unfortunately, Cavello doesn't intend to go down without a fight, or plan to serve any serious time in prison, and orchestrates something that will live in the minds of those determined to bring him down, for the rest of their lives. Bent on revenge and dishing out their own idea of justice, Andie and Nick set out to bring down the man that has caused so many people to lose their lives.

This book was quick and easy to read. It is not as well thought out and executed as some of Patterson's early works, but it isn't as bad as some of his other collaborations. Getting it from a friend and reading it just as something light between your heavy reading, would be fine.
