This book follows a clever serial killer in the act of murder and in trial. There’s a plot twist of the killer being on the jury, but will the infamous Eddie Flynn find him before it’s too late. This book is intense and graphical.

Extremely cool premise for the story - you know from the start that the killer has infiltrated the jury in order to frame someone for the murder they committed. Don't need to read the earlier books in the series at all for context on the main character. Fast paced and imperfect but an easy book to blast through.
