Overview
Meet Jane Smith, the Hamptons' most formidable criminal defense attorney, in this razor-sharp two-book thriller set from James Patterson and Mike Lupica. When a terminal diagnosis gives her only months to live, Jane refuses to slow down, juggling high-stakes murder trials, cold-case revivals, and a client who insists he's been framed. Set against a backdrop of coastal wealth, media scrutiny, and courtroom pressure, this collection delivers propulsive legal suspense with a heroine who fights just as hard for justice as she does for time. Perfect for adult thriller fans craving a gripping, fast-paced read.

About the Books
This two-book paperback collection follows Jane Smith, a brilliant Hamptons defense attorney whose sharp legal instincts are matched only by her investigative drive. In 12 Months to Live, Jane takes on a client accused of a triple homicide while reopening a long-dormant cold case, only to learn she herself has a terminal illness and a single year left to live. The revelation transforms every courtroom decision into a race against her own mortality. In 8 Months Left, the stakes climb higher as Jane's repeat client faces fresh accusations of murder, forcing her to balance courtroom strategy with on-the-ground investigation while her health continues to decline. Written in Patterson's signature short, propulsive chapters and Lupica's sharp narrative instincts, both novels combine legal procedure, cold moral calculus, and the glittering, high-pressure world of the Hamptons elite. Jane Smith emerges as a tenacious, principled protagonist who refuses to let a ticking clock diminish her resolve. Readers who enjoy contemporary crime fiction anchored by a strong female lead, tight pacing, and layered courtroom drama will find this set compulsively readable. Together, the two books form a tightly connected arc, with unresolved threads from the first novel carrying directly into the pressure-cooker plotting of the second, making this collection ideal for binge reading from start to finish. Both books unfold at a relentless pace, moving between packed courtrooms, interrogation rooms, and Hamptons estates where old money and new secrets collide, giving the series a distinctive edge.
