      About This Book

      #1 New York Times Bestseller!

      Academy Award winning actress Viola Davis and the world's #1 bestselling author James Patterson's Judge Stone       "delivers first-class courtroom drama, small-town excitement, and strong characters all wrapped in a moral dilemma. Tense, readable, and relevant." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

      "Talk about a power combo! ... With Davis's razor-sharp emotional insight and Patterson's mastery of rocket-fuel pacing, this is the dream team to deliver an up-all-night read that will keep the group chat buzzing." —Oprah Daily

      "Wonderfully satisfying ... This legal thriller from [a] superstar duo ... demands attention from its opening pages and never lets go." —Booklist, starred review

      All rise... for Judge Stone.

      The most respected citizen in Union Springs, Alabama (population 3,314), is Judge Mary Stone. She holds two responsibilities sacred: running her family farm and presiding over her courtroom. It's there she draws the most controversial case in the history of the South.

      Criminally, it's open-and-shut.

      Ethically, there is no middle ground. Essentially, it's a choice between life and death.
       
      No judge can satisfy everyone. It would be dangerous to try. But Judge Stone is willing to fight to bring justice to the people and place she loves.
