12 Months to Live: Her enemies call her Jane Effing Smith

Criminal attorney Jane Smith, tough as nails, has received a terminal diagnosis and doesn't have much time.  Is her own client trying to kill her first?



"Jane Smith is the best character we're ever created. Bar none."

--James Patterson and Mike Lupica



Tough-as-nails criminal defense attorney Jane Smith is hip-deep in the murder trial of the century.



Actually, her charmless client might've committed several murders.



She's also fallen in love with a wonderful guy. And an equally wonderful dog, a mutt.



But Jane doesn't have much time. She's just received a terminal diagnosis giving her twelve months.



Unless she's murdered before her expiration date.
