Patterson James: Never Say Die [2025]

In this latest thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author, defence attorney Jane Smith is back in the courtroom defending a notorious client, but her time is running out...

Since taking on a famous celebrity client, defence attorney Jane Smith has been chased down, shot at, and threatened with contempt of court. She's a survivor. For now.

Jane Smith represents a Hamptons real estate mogul with more enemies than clients.

When Jane's own life is threatened, mounting a legal defence turns into self-defence.

Knowing every day in court could be her last, she's armed and ready: with brilliant arguments, hard evidence - and two Glocks.

Until she hears the words "not guilty," Jane Smith will Never Say Die.
