—James Patterson and Mike Lupica

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. Crime Crime Thrillers Legal Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Law Fiction Thriller Murder
