The gripping debut True Crime book by award-winning author Paul Sanders. *

In the middle of a sleepy Phoenix neighbourhood, Marissa DeVault murdered her husband.

January 14, 2009. Dale Harrell is found clinging to life by police, his skull brutally beaten with a hammer. The resulting criminal trial catapults twelve ordinary jurors into a powerful struggle with complex questions. On the surface, the murder seemed clear. But lurking beneath was a gnawing doubt – was this the act of a cold-blooded murderer, or the last-ditch effort of a desperate woman who was left broken by years of domestic abuse?

Paul Sanders served as juror #13. Expertly retelling his story in vivid and gritty detail, he recounts the sleepless nights and painstaking debates that echoed around the trial, gaining a deep glimpse into the day-to-day lives of a family torn apart by murder. Determined to cut through the confusion and finally deliver justice to a victim, he shares his remarkable true story of a criminal case that’s packed with fascinating twists and turns.

With an honest perspective of every day he spent in the jury box with his fellow jurors, Paul invites you into his world, depicting every character with a larger-than-life persona that reels you in and frames each scene in dramatic detail. The trial of Marissa DeVault left the jurors with a question that had far-reaching consequences: should the defendant pay for her crime with her life?
