Two years ago Maria Fontana was a psychology professor at Columbia University serving on a jury for a serial killer trial. With a lot of circumstantial evidence and no DNA, it's declared a mistrial when, for the third time, one juror voted not guilty. Now the twelve jurors are being threatened by the victims'families and hounded by the media. To save the rest, Maria admits she's the one who let Wyatt Butler go free. After a forced sabbatical, she, her fiance Steve, and her two children go on a cruise. But when murders start to happen on the ship with the same MO as Wyatt Butler, Maria knows it's either him or a copycat, and his ultimate goal is Maria and her family.
This story is packed full of action and suspense, and the setting on a cruise ship with no escape just adds to the thrill. Although the descriptions of murdered children were quite gruesome, they paint a picture of a truly horrible killer. And was that a hint at the end of a sequel? I'll be waiting in line for it if so!
