No judge can satisfy every one who comes through their courtroom. In fact, it would be dangerous to try . . .
Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis and superstar author James Patterson have written an incredible courtroom drama and created the most unforgettable main character in years with Judge Stone, a tense and relevant contemporary thriller that delivers first-class courtroom drama, small-town excitement, and strong characters embroiled in moral dilemmas.
With Davis’s razor-sharp emotional insight and Patterson’s mastery of rocket-fuel pacing, this is the dream team to deliver an up-all-night read. Talk about a power combo!” -- Oprah Daily
