The Jury Master

By: Robert Dugoni

Narrated by: Robertson Dean

"Thriller of the first order, delivered in high-octane prose. Robert Dugoni is a bona fide new talent." –John Lescroart

In a courtroom, David Sloane can grab a jury and make it dance. He can read jurors' expressions, feel their emotions, know their thoughts. With this remarkable ability, Sloane gets juries to believe the unbelievable, excuse the inexcusable, and return the most astonishing verdicts. The only barrier to Sloane's professional success is his conscience–until he gets a call from a man later found dead, and his life rockets out of control.

The call is from Joe Branick, special assistant and personal friend of the President of the United States, made just hours before Branick swallows his own gun. In a single moment, the death of a man Sloane has never met propels the jury master out of his successful life and into a whirlwind that is shattering lives from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.

To get back his life, Sloane needs to know more. About Branick. About others who are in as much danger as he is. And about the president and his men. But in the face of a secret that spans decades and governments, and puts millions of dollars at risk, there's one thing David Sloane can't possibly envision: that this runaway conspiracy is all about him–and only he can stop it.

A whole new kind of thriller from a remarkable new writer, THE JURY MASTER hurtles through one hairpin turn into another. As a brilliant attorney fights for his life, he gets closer and closer to an explosive truth: about who he is, how little he knows, and who is the master of his fate….©2006 Robert Dugoni; (P)2006 Books on Tape

Had to remember to breathe!

If you could sum up Jury Master in three words, what would they be?

Fast-paced action; compelling characters; twists and turns that kept me glued to my headphones. Glad to discover another great mystery writer!

Outstanding listen

Mr. Dugoni makes a long hot walk/run pass painlessly. Highly recommend the story and how it evolves.

Great listen!

Loved it! First time listening to this author. It was a page turner. Will look for more by him.

Enjoyed the story

I hadn't heard of this writer. I look forward to more of his work.

GREAT START TO A PROMISING SERIES!!!

I'm such a fan of Robert Dugoni! All of his novels are different and exciting. When I begin one, I just can't stop listening. David Sloane is a fascinating main character in this series. I've just started this particular series but I can tell you that if this novel is a good representation of what's to come, I CAN'T WAIT. I enjoyed listening to Robertson Dean which was a first for me. I see that the narrator has changed in the second release. I can only hope that he's as good as Dean.

At this point, I can't recommend the entire series but I certainly can say that based on this first novel, I'll be shocked if it disappoints.
