'A twisty tale full of surprises with a nail-biting finale. I didn't want it to end' Sarah Ward, author of The Death Lesson

Justice is blind. But someone's watching.

Leonie is one of twelve jurors chosen to decide the fate of a nurse accused of murder. But just as deliberations begin, an usher bursts in with news that changes everything. Britain is under chemical attack, and the courthouse is locked down.

Ordered to stay put for their own safety, the jurors soon realise that the real danger lies inside the building. The accused has escaped his cell and is on the loose. He's playing twisted games with the group. And Leonie is his next target.

Because he knows something about her. She isn't on the jury by chance- and her reasons for being thereare far more personal than anyone suspects. As trust fractures, how far will Leonie go to tip the scales of justice in her favour?
