The Murder Trial: A Thriller

By Nancy Allen and James Patterson

Book Overview

A young woman stands trial for the double murder of her parents.

Eighteen-year-old Janelle Thompson is used to seeing her adoptive parents in the news. Her father is a rising political star. Her mother is the mind behind his first major campaign.

Then one Friday night, the whole family makes headlines.

Her parents are missing, declared dead--and all the evidence points to Janelle. A perfect family destroyed by a daughter barely old enough to vote.

From her cell at Westfall Justice Center, Janelle swears she's innocent, that she loved her parents.

If only she could convince someone--anyone--that she's telling the truth.
