Jury duty is the solemn responsibility of every citizen. It is the rock of the criminal justice system and provides the individual an opportunity not only to support and benefit from that system, but to participate in it. It was never intended, however, that the jury become its victim.

In 1982, following six weeks of trial and three days of deliberation, a jury of seven men and five women sitting in the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, convicted, and sentenced to death, Alphonse Fabrizi, Pittsburgh’s mob Godfather. When, 16 years after the trial which brought them together, those jurors are being systematically and brutally murdered, Jake Steele, a private investigator in Pittsburgh, is engaged to solve the mystery.

This fictional story follows Steele and Pittsburgh Police Homicide Detective Mel Tripp through a complicated and dangerous investigation that changes the lives of both men forever.
