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.

Two novels - The Jailhouse Lawyer and Power of Attorney are packed within the cover of this book. And both are stupendously powerful stories…..
Martha Foster is the single mother of 5 year old Andy, who suffers from a congenital heart disease. So when she takes up a cushy job as Public Defender, with nice perks, in Erva, Alabama, all seems good. But on shifting there, Martha finds the entire town is being controlled by Judge Pickens and some really weird stuff are going on. Now it’s up to her to change all that….
Leah Randall escaped small town Bassville, Arkansas to study and then practice law in Chicago. But when her father is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she has to come back and sort out his caseload. Recently, a double murder has shaken the town and the girl accused of it becomes Leah’s client. But a far deeper conspiracy is afoot, more than Leah realises…..
