Undefeated criminal defense attorney Jane Smith—known as the Hamptons Lawyer—never fails to make her case.
The Hamptons on Long Island is known for its beautiful beaches, its luxury lifestyle—and its exclusive legal advice.
When Jane Smith takes on a famous celebrity client, she’s armed and ready: with brilliant arguments, hard evidence—and two Glocks.
Yet she’s chased down, shot at, and risks contempt of court. That’s when mounting a legal defense turns into self-defense.
Knowing every day in court could be her last, she’s a survivor. For now.
The series
There’s a reason readers keep coming back to Jane Smith. She’s the kind of heroine who doesn’t just argue cases, she fights them with her life on the line. Once a cop and now a defense attorney in the Hamptons, Jane knows better than most that justice isn’t clean and truth isn’t simple. Every case she takes cuts closer to the bone, and with a clock ticking on her own survival, the choices she makes grow sharper, riskier, and far more personal.
Read full series description
In this gripping thriller series by James Patterson and Mike Lupica, law, loyalty, and mortality collide in ways that few courtroom dramas dare to touch. The settings shimmer with contrast: the glossy perfection of Long Island’s mansions against the shadows of backroom deals, the calm of coastal mornings against the pulse of violence waiting beneath the surface. Jane’s world is full of powerful people who think they can buy their way out of anything, and one woman determined to prove them wrong.
As her illness threatens to take away her time, Jane races to defend those no one else will, facing down killers, corrupt clients, and the ghosts of her own past. What begins as a legal battle often turns into a fight for survival, where every verdict feels like a heartbeat stolen from the inevitable.
Darkly atmospheric, fast-paced, and layered with moral tension, the Jane Smith Thrillers blend courtroom suspense with raw human vulnerability. They pull readers into a world where justice is fragile, danger is intimate, and one woman’s defiance burns brightest when everything else fades.
