An ID Book Club Selection ā¢Ā āExhilarating . . . a fiendishly slippery game of cat-and-mouse suspense and a provocative, urgent inquiry into American justice (and injustice) in the twenty-first century.āāA. J. Finn, #1Ā New York TimesĀ bestselling author ofĀ The Woman in the Window
Itās the most sensational case of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Jessica Silver, heiress to a billion-dollar real estate fortune, vanishes on her way home from school, and her teacher, Bobby Nock, a twenty-five-year-old African American man, is the prime suspect. The subsequent trial taps straight into Americaās most pressing preoccupations: race, class, sex, law enforcement, and the lurid sins of the rich and famous. Itās an open-and-shut case for the prosecution, and a quick conviction seems all but guaranteedāuntil Maya Seale, a young woman on the jury, convinced of Nockās innocence, persuades the rest of the jurors to return the verdict of not guilty, a controversial decision that will change all their lives forever.
Flash forward ten years. A true-crime docuseries reassembles the jury, with particular focus on Maya, now a defense attorney herself. When one of the jurors is found dead in Mayaās hotel room, all evidence points to her as the killer. Now, she must prove her own innocenceāby getting to the bottom of a case that is far from closed.
As the present-day murder investigation weaves together with the story of what really happened during their deliberation, told by each of the jurors in turn, the secrets they have all been keeping threaten to come outāwith drastic consequences for all involved.
