Product Description
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.

The audio book shipped fast and was packaged very well. The prices are br /always good at Amazon also. I will continue buying products from Amazon. br / br / The book itself was great. I already had it in hardback but bought the br /audio for my husband to listen to while traveling back and forth to work. br /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! August 13, 2008
Michelle L. Beck (Atlanta, Georgia)
"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. br / br /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. br /
over-the-top action, interesting locations August 11, 2008
linda's books (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)
Typically fast-paced, this brings a rogue Special Agent face to face with a trio of powerful, well-trained hit men guilty of the most horrific crimes. There's a romance, and the story moves from one exotic location to another, with never a dull moment! As is so typical of James Patterson, the hero doesn't play by the rules, but we root for him anyway. One of the innovations in this novel is that the leading lady learns not to play by the rules in exacting her revenge for her son's murder. The story raises some interesting questions about juror safety, questions all readers will be pondering the next time they happen to receive a summons for duty.
 Boring August 6, 2008
Indiana Jones (Lubbock TX)
I am a big James Patterson fan. I like to read his books- they usually have a lot of mystery to them, secret characters, and unexpected plot twists. This book had none of the those elements. This book basically introduces you to the good guys and the bad guys and then tells the story of how the characters reach the predictable and boring conflict resolution. No surprise, no suspense.
